• Collaboration with the SUNY-UWI Centre for Sustainable Leadership Development and the SUNY Global Health
Collaborating with the Office of Graduate Studies and Research (OGSR), UWI, Mona launched a year-long, free coaching programme at the Western Jamaica Campus, to ensure the completion and award of PhD theses. OGSR hosted its annual Getting Started Workshop for new research students. The workshop had approximately 55 students and six presenters joining via the Zoom Platform. The students were engaged in topics that covered getting started , all you should know about plagiarism , graduate regulations , tips for graduate schools , your supervisor and you and intellectual property. Graduate student progress tracking The throughput rates of our graduate students have been a source of concern despite the numerous efforts to improve these rates over the years. In AY 2022/2023 MITS Automated the workflow for graduate student to supervisor feedback and reporting . This facilitates: • Graduate students’ submissions of research progress reports • Supervisors’ reviews and comments for further action by the students, and • Oversight by the Graduate Studies Coordinator at the Department and Faculty levels.
Institute led to the 4th joint session of the SUNY-UWI Health Research Consortium and the SUNY Global Health Institute Workshop geared towards building research capacity through subgroups with specific interests. Collaboration between the two institutions continue to advance in AY 2022–2023.
Mechanisms to strengthen student research Initiatives
With leadership drawn from among postgraduate students across its departments, the Faculty of Humanities and Education (FHE) constituted an MPhil/PhD taskforce. Activities of the taskforce included a session titled, Sip and Write: The Literature Review; the launch of a new initiative – Ignite Sessions: Research in Progress – to create a space for research students to meet to offer peer support, critique, and share ideas; and creation of a WhatsApp group to facilitate communication among research students. The Faculty also introduced its first Postgraduate Networking Cocktail event.

The Dean’s Office in the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) developed a Graduate Coordinator Reference Guide. This guide will serve as a valuable reference tool for Graduate Coordinators in the execution of their responsibilities.
