to identify research themes and titles.
Then, CREAM will identify research centre
of excellent among local university/institution

80%

by this process. The process aim to align
the titles to the requirement of construction
industry. The process is illustrated by

Bottom-Up Approach
- This is the conventional approach of
disseminating research grant as currently
being practice by other research funding
agencies (MOSTI, IRPA etc.). Researcher
must first to fill up CREAM 1 form and
submit it to CREAM office. Later, CREAM
management, if necessary to call the researcher
to make a short presentation on research
outline and the researcher will be required
to fill CREAM 2 form.
Then,
the application will be table to CREAM
technical panel for the approval. The
bottom up approach will not limit the
creativity of the researcher to produce
