Scientific Research Project Types and Support Limits
Basic Research Projects are projects aimed at contributing to universal and national science, and can be conducted as single-discipline or multi-discipline projects depending on the nature of the research problem.
Single-discipline basic research projects are studies where the research question, theoretical framework, methodology, and analysis processes are defined within a single academic discipline, department, or division; and the scientific contribution is presented using the knowledge production tools of the same discipline. The fact that researchers involved in the project are from different institutions or receive limited input and technical support from different disciplines does not make the project multi-disciplinary, as long as the fundamental approach and scientific backbone of the research are based on a single discipline.
Single-Discipline Basic Research Project Support Limit: 400.000 TL
(TÜBİTAK 1001 Program Application Form will be used.)
Multidisciplinary basic research projects are studies where the nature of the research problem necessitates the theoretical and methodological contributions of more than one discipline, and interdisciplinary collaboration is not merely auxiliary but crucial to the project. In such projects, different departments/branches in health sciences and different departments in other fields contribute directly and equally to the solution of the research question; each discipline is represented within the project with its own unique methods and analytical processes. The exclusion of any discipline would compromise the scientific integrity of the research, which constitutes the fundamental distinguishing criterion of multidisciplinarity.
Multidisciplinary Basic Research Project Support Limit: 450.000 TL
(TÜBİTAK 1001 Program Application Form will be used.)
These are research projects prepared in areas that support the vision, mission, and objectives included in Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University's 2025-2029 strategic plan, or projects proposed in response to a call from the Rectorate. Projects within this scope must be multidisciplinary.
Priority Area Research Project Support Limit: 400.000 TL
(TÜBİTAK 3005 Program Application Form will be used.)
These are research projects conducted by our university's academic staff, appointed as thesis advisors by the institute, with their students, encompassing their postgraduate theses. Postgraduate thesis project support is not provided for postgraduate studies that do not result in a thesis. Students who have two semesters left until the end of their postgraduate studies cannot apply for project support. Furthermore, to benefit from postgraduate thesis project support, doctoral students must have successfully completed their doctoral qualifying examination.

Graduate Thesis Project Support Limit:
For PhD/Medical Specialization: 350.000 TL
For Master's: 170.000 TL
(Depending on the nature of the project, TÜBİTAK 1001, 1002 or 3005 Program Application Form will be used.)
These projects are created with the participation of faculty members from Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University and public institutions/organizations and private institutions (nationally recognized foundations, unions, companies, etc.) outside the university. In such projects, it is essential that the collaborating organization contributes a certain percentage to the project budget. Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University provides monetary and in-kind contributions in public-participation projects, while in projects with private institutions, it only provides in-kind contributions (human resources and/or the use of university infrastructure).
National Participation Research Project Support Limit: 450.000 TL
(TÜBİTAK 3005 Program Application Form will be used.)
The aim of the program is to encourage the work of scientists who have completed their doctoral studies within the last 5 years by providing project support. This program covers projects aimed at supporting the research of academic staff (excluding associate professors and professors) of our university who have completed their doctorate, medical specialization, artistic proficiency, or equivalent specialization training and are working in academic positions.

SHORT-TERM SUPPORT PROJECT - A: These are projects aimed at supporting short-term (maximum 12 months) and small-budget research projects that have the potential to develop into basic research projects.
Short-Term Support Project - A Support Limit: 100.000 TL
SHORT-TERM SUPPORT PROJECT - B: This is a type of support for doctoral dissertation studies that have the potential to develop into a fundamental research project. Within this scope, short-term research projects, lasting a maximum of 9 months, conducted by students who have successfully passed the doctoral qualifying exam at the AYBÜ Central Laboratory for preliminary review and preparation purposes, are supported. There is no obligation to publish research for projects carried out under this support type.
Short-Term Support Project - B Support Limit: 50.000 TL
(TÜBİTAK 1002 Program Application Form will be used.)
Projects submitted to TÜBİTAK (1001, 3005, 3501) by researchers, but deemed unsuitable for funding as a result of TÜBİTAK's peer review, are examined by the BAP Commission based on the relevant TÜBİTAK Evaluation Report, to address the deficiencies stated in the report and to ensure the project's alignment with institutional priorities. Based on this examination, the BAP Commission may directly approve the project, reject it, request revisions, or refer it for external peer review.
Support Amount to be Given for These Projects: Evaluated according to the type of project.
These research projects are created to foster an R&D culture among successful students enrolled in the formal education programs of our university's associate/bachelor's degree units, to encourage them to participate in research activities, and to motivate them to conduct research.[1].
Undergraduate/Associate Degree Student Participatory Research Project Support Limit: 40.000 TL
(TÜBİTAK 2209A Program Application Form will be used.)
[1] Students who will serve as researchers in the projects must be enrolled in classes other than the preparatory year and first year, and must have a minimum GPA of 2.50. Students who have one semester left until graduation cannot apply for the project. These students must submit their project applications no later than before registering for their final semester courses. The project duration must be between 6 and 12 months. A minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4 undergraduate students can serve as researchers in these projects.
