Executive Summary

From July 31– September 30, 2018, the Institute of International Education (IIE) completed activities

and milestones necessary to implement the Sustainable Higher Education Research Alliances (SHERA)

program (Cooperative Agreement AID-497-A-16-00004). SHERA aims to foster linkages between

Indonesian higher education institutions (HEI) and U.S-based universities, and across diverse

Indonesian universities to enhance the research capacity of Indonesian HEIs in science, technology,

and innovation (ST&I), improve the enabling environment for quality research, and promote access to

research and professional development opportunities for women. By establishing Centers for

Collaborative Research (CCRs) within top Indonesian universities, SHERA, in collaboration with the

Indonesian Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemristekdikti), bring together

Indonesian and U.S. scholars to conduct world-class research within priority research areas.

During the reporting period, IIE achieved two major programmatic milestones, successfully running

SHERA’s inaugural Annual Conference and completion of the assessment of the CCR’s Year 1

activities. Under the theme “Partnerships towards Innovation,” the Annual Conference brought

together CCR lead and affiliate management and staff, CCR lead institutional leadership, Government

of Indonesian (GOI) representatives, private sector officials and other key stakeholders to celebrate

the CCRs’ Year 1 achievements and share best practices in university and public-private sector

partnerships. The conference was proceeded by a quarterly meeting with all CCR leads to discuss

challenges over the past year and share solutions to address them in the year ahead.

SHERA’s assessment of the CCR’s achievements included visits to each CCR lead to review their Year

1 targets against actual achievements and their Year 1 budget against their actual spending. This analysis

was then used to work with each CCR lead on their Year 2 work plan and associated budget.

Other highlights from the quarter included participation in the Ministry of Research, Technology, and

Higher Education’s (Kemristekdikti) flagship annual event, National Technology Awakening Day

(HAKTEKNAS), to celebrate innovations in technology in Indonesia. As a sign of their continued

support for the program and alignment with its goals, Kemristekdikti has invited all CCR leads to

display their research and achievements. Lastly, IIE is happy to report that, due to the in-depth capacity

building and technical assistance to the CCR leads through quarterly meetings, one-on-one trainings,

refreshment trainings, and virtual and in-person meetings, all CCR leads are fully up-to-date on

invoicing to IIE. This will be reflected in this quarter’s federal financial report to USAID.

In the upcoming quarter, IIE will finalize negotiations with CCR’s regarding their Year 2 work plans

and budgets. IIE plans to work with each CCR to modify their awards to include revised approval

processes and reporting requirements that will further streamline the advance request and financial

reporting process, as well as increase their award obligation to support their Year 2 activities. IIE will

hold a meeting with all CCR leads in October to present some of these process and requirement

revisions and share updated templates and tools. A Financial Operations Specialist from Washington

DC will travel to Indonesia to join the meeting and work one-on-one with the CCR leads.

I. SHERA University Partnerships/Centers for Collaborative Research

1.1 Overview of Results

In the final quarter of this year, the SHERA program focused on activities to celebrate accomplishments

and learn from challenges from the first year of CCR implementation and plane for their second year.

This was primarily conducted through three major activities: 1) SHERA’s Annual Conference, held in

Bogor on July 9-10; 2) the final CCR Quarterly Meeting, held in Bogor on July 11-13; and 3) IIE’s annual

assessment of CCR activities, held from July 23-September 4.

Over the quarter, CCRs continued to implement their research and capacity building activities per

their Year 1 work plans, which resulted in significant achievements towards their key performance

indicator (KPI) targets. Of highlight, during this quarter CCRs led 16 trainings in research methods

and participated in eight international conferences. See a full list of CCR achievements in Annex III.

Of highlight, the consortium focused on innovative technologies, the National Center for Sustainable

Transportation Technology (NCSTT), led by Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), exceeded its target

number of 32 peer-reviewed publications produced by their researchers. The CCR focused on the

environment, energy and maritime sciences, Center for the Development of a Sustainable Region

(CDSR), led by Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), also exceeded their target, producing 22% more

publications than targeted (27). Meanwhile, the CCR focused on public health and infectious disease,

Center for Collaborative Research on Acute Respiratory Infections (CCR ARI), led by Universitas

Padjadjaran (UNPAD), has experienced challenges in meeting their target for this indicator as their

research does not include preliminary data for manuscript preparation. This, CCR – ARI will reassess

their target publications in the upcoming quarter to identify a related study that would support their

research focus.

CDSR welcomed a new institutional partner into their consortium this quarter, Institute Teknik

Surabaya (ITS). ITS is strong in maritime sciences research, specifically in wave energy as a renewable

energy source in Indonesia, which could greatly benefit CDSR’s research. In addition, the consortium

focused on urban planning and development, Scientific Modeling, Application, Research, and Training

for City-centered Innovation and Technology (SMART CITY), led by Universitas Indonesia (UI),

welcomed a new U.S. partner, Alabama A&M University (AAMU) and Indonesian partner, Universitas

Teknologi Sumbawa (UTS).

SHERA’s achievements are directly correlated to those of the CCRs. At 239 scholars, SHERA met its

target for the number of scholars participating in collaborative research for the quarter. In addition,

SHERA exceeded its target for the number of institutions with improved research and management

policies by 450%, as each CCR lead and four Indonesian affiliates created written policies this quarter.

In addition to the above successes, there were several targets not met for various reasons. The

number of scholars who participate in virtual knowledge exchange was 155 this quarter, 51% of the

set target, due to the fact that CDSR and NCSTT initially planned for virtual exchange activities for

this quarter that have since been adjusted to occur during their second year of implementation. The

number of improved administrative and management systems in place reached only 40% of the set

target because CCR members at the research unit level must first improve their own administrative

processes before addressing those of larger institutions. Lastly, only three of the five CCRs (60%) are

actively using their consortium websites (CCR ARI, CDSR, and NCSTT), which the SHERA team will

address in the upcoming quarter through a hands-on communications and outreach training. See a

complete list of SHERA’s achievements per its KPI for the quarter in Annex 1.

1.2 CCR Lead Direct Mentoring and Other Support

The SHERA team conducted a virtual mentoring session to CCR leads Monitoring, Evaluation and

Learning (MEL) staff via Skype in September, with topics covering the upcoming Annual Reporting

deliverables to IIE and overview of the CCR leads’ quarterly reporting templates, potential changes to

7

SHERA’s indicator on peer-reviewed scientific publications resulting from USG support to research

and implementation programs, in which IIE will be adding proceeding articles to the definition of peer-

reviewed publications, and reviewing the completion of CCR leads’ quality benchmarks.

Leading into this quarter, the CCR focused on food security and self-sufficiency, Animal Biotechnology

and Coral Reef Fisheries (ANBIOCORE), led by Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), as well as UNPAD

consistently submitted incomplete and late financial reporting to IIE. The SHERA team dedicated

additional time during this quarter to work with UNPAD over Skype to address their questions and

areas of misunderstanding. In addition, the team visited IPB and UNPAD to conduct direct mentoring

and work directly with them in finalizing their reports. By the end of this quarter, IIE is happy to report

that both were up-to-date on their financial reporting.

1.3 CCR Annual Conference

SHERA’s inaugural Annual Conference took place July 9-11 at the IPB International Conference Center

in Bogor. The event’s theme, “Partnerships for Innovation,” framed the event, in which CCRs

presented their consortium’s achievements to-date, as well as lessons learned, while subject matter

experts shared best practices in research collaboration management and private sector partners

shared information regarding their experience collaborating with HEIs. The format was a mixture of

presentations, panel discussions and exhibitions. See a fully description of the event in SHERA’s

Quarterly Communications Report.

1.4 CCR Quarterly Meeting

IIE held its final quarterly meeting with all CCR leads in Bogor on July 10-12, which focused both on

learnings from Year 1, planning for Year 2 and sharing best practices and possible solutions to

challenges faced by the CCRs. SHERA’s MEL Specialist conducted small focus group discussions with

the MEL staff from each CCR lead to address challenges stemming from weak management and their

lack of understanding of SHERA’s theory of change and business processes. An outcome from the

meeting was a list of recommendations to address these challenges through increased involvement of

the CCR lead Partnership Managers, including 1) having a more complete and nuanced understanding

of SHERA’s Performance Indicator Review Sheets (PIRS), 2) providing close supervision and better

support to MEL staff, especially related to establishing performance targets and making adjustments

based on actual implementation; and 3) working closer with CCR affiliates on data recording and

reporting.

1.5 CCR Monitoring

The SHERA team conducted several field visits this quarter to document CCR activities first-hand,

validate best practices and lesson learned at the selected partner institutions, capture impact and

success stories, and conduct data quality assurance. During each field visit, the SHERA team met with

CCR scholars and management at affiliate institutions, the deans of the targeted faculty and rectors of

the universities. The key findings are outlined below per field visit:

Field Monitoring Visit to CCR ARI affiliates – Universitas Syiah Kuala (UNSYIAH), Aceh and

Universitas Lambung Mangkurat (UNLAM), Banjarmasin:

CCR-ARI trainings conducted for the Indonesian affiliates have met the needs of scholars. The

affiliates, however, cited that the trainings should be conducted in multiple stages – basic,

intermediate, and advance – to provide targeted capacity building.

Scholars at the affiliate universities are struggling to meet their responsibilities as CCR clinical

researchers given their demanding teaching responsibilities at their universities. It was

determined that advocacy at the local government level is necessary to change these

responsibilities and increase the time available to dedicate to the collaborative research

activities.

The Dean of Medicine at UNSYIAH noted the benefit of SHERA as increasing the capacity of

local researchers to produce articles that meet the required standards for international

8

publications, which, in turn, benefit the professional development of the scholars and the

growth of the university overall as a world class HEI.

Before joining the CCR, both UNSYIAH and UNLAM had ethics committees with limited

capacities to meet internationally accepted standards. Their capacity has increased under the

guidance of the CCR lead, UNPAD.

Field Monitoring Visit to CDSR affiliates – Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG) & University of

Muhammadiyah Gorontalo (UMG):

Scholars at UMG acknowledged that their research and presentation capacity has increased

since participating as a CDSR affiliate partner. Some scholars noted that they are more

confident to participate in an international conference and submit an article to an international

journal for publication

The greatest challenge mentioned by the affiliates to their successful participation in the

consortium is the complex local bureaucracy.

The research environment at both institutions to support collaborative research under

SHERA is gradually increasing.

1.6 CCR Year 1 Assessments

As mentioned above, the SHERA team met with each CCR lead to conduct a thorough Year 1

assessment of their implementation. During each meeting, the team reviewed CCR leads’ Year 1

Implementation Plans against their achievements, based on their key performance indicator targets,

and their actual spending against their Year 1 budgets. Using the findings from this analysis, the team

worked with the CCR leads to develop their Year 2 work plans and associated budgets. The criteria

used to assess performance included:

CCRs’ actual achievement in each KPI against their targeted performance,

CCRs’ success in reporting complete and accurate data to IIE by the set deadline,

CCRs’ success in implementing activities per their work plan, and

CCRs’ actual spending against their budget projections (budget vs. actual, BvA).

CCR leads’ overall performance were all rated as fair, in which IIE noted a general delay in data

recording and reporting and CCRs achieved roughly 26-50% of their target indicators and planned

activities. With this assessment, the CCR leads’ demonstrated that close supervision by IIE is still

needed in managing and operating the CCRs in a manner that is compliant with USG and subaward

terms and regulations. See the overall results of CCR leads’ Year 1 performance in Table 1.

The overall challenges IIE documented during the assessment includes the following:

Lack of capacity in managing CCR in compliance with USG and subaward standards.

Lack of accountability in their own program management and that of their affiliates.

Unclear procedural standards.

Lack of understanding of SHERA theory of change, thus each CCR has a different

understanding of how to deliver their business process.

Lack of experience or framework in which to advocate internally for changes in institutional

research policies.

Lack of clarity in the roles of the CCR leads and their U.S. affiliates in conducting collaborative

research.

Based on the above, IIE will institute the following activities to support the CCRs:

Conduct intensive program mentoring.

Conduct routine data quality assurance.

Provide close supervision to CCR program managers and directors, to ensure necessary

oversight.

Support the CCRs in developing standard procedures for program management and activities.

Increase CCRs system’s for knowledge management.

Communicate all management and program learnings to all CCRs’ members.

Establish a standard monitoring dashboard for each CCR to monitor performance.

1.7 CCR Activities – Key Highlights during the Reporting Period

This section provides general highlights from the CCRs’ activities during the reporting period. For

additional details, see Annex I and III.

a. CCR-ARI

During this quarter, CCR ARI moved forward with its burden of disease study, which analyzes the

impact of respiratory disease on highly impacted populations, including pregnant women, young

children, and the elderly. Total recruited patients in participating Bandung hospitals was 147 and total

enrolled patients, those who signed informed consent forms and met the inclusion criteria, were 85

by the end of the quarter.

Universitas Mataram (UNRAM) sites showed the most progress in research implementation. The team

has conducted research protocol socialization to both network hospitals, RSUD Prov. NTB and RSUD

Praya, and initiated patient recruitment trials through existing medical records. They plan to recruit

real patient by the beginning of October.

The Banda Aceh site is currently working on protocol socialization to both network hospitals, RSUD

Zainoel Abidin and RSUD Meuraxa. The Banjarmasin site is working to secure its research permit for

both participating hospitals, RSUD Ulin and RSUD Ansari Saleh. Meanwhile, the Ambon site is still

waiting to receive the -80C freezer it purchased as a prerequisite for involvement in the study.

CCR ARI had trouble with the utilization of the chosen technology for collecting research data, as the

internet connection is unstable in many field areas where the CCR works, particularly in Aceh,

Lombok, and Ambon. To solve this connectivity issue, CCR ARI considered entering the data via the

offline app, however this would likely cause more challenges than it would address. It will continue to

work on addressing this issue in the upcoming quarter.

CCR ARI’s activities related to the immunogenicity study to investigate the presence of an immune

response to the health treatment and its clinical impact, included implementing a Protocol and

Instrument Development workshop. At this stage, the protocol is being processed for submission to

UNPAD’s Ethics Committee and the team is currently composing the instrument for the study.

10

In addition, UNPAD continued to negotiate the terms of their agreements with private sector partners

Biofarma, and Pharmajet. The draft is current under review with UNPAD legal office and will be sent

to both parties for their review shortly.

CCR ARI’s short-term trainings included a total of 12 by the end of the quarter. CCR ARI conducted

two webinars this quarter to support knowledge exchange with the consortium scholars and the

general public. Moreover, CCR ARI conducted a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Material

Development to increase the capacity of UNPAD lecturers in developing curriculum for online

courses. Following the training, two courses were made available online to UNPAD students,

Epidemiology for Graduate Students and English for Undergraduate Students.

b. SMART CITY

During the quarter, the SMART CITY team focused on improving their Indonesian affiliates’ system

by reviewing their institutions’ policy and standard operational procedures from their Directorate of

Research. The SMART CITY team at UI organized 25 research groups among their partner institutions,

including 10 groups at UI, three groups at UNPAD, four groups at Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP),

four groups in Universitas Udayana (UNUD) and 4 groups at Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI). At the

same time, SMART CITY focused on executing subagreements with their U.S. affiliates, University of

Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), Savannah State University (SSU) and Alabama A&M University

(AAMU). Meanwhile SMART CITY succeeded in partnering with Universitas Teknologi Sumbawa

(UTS) to further support its research activities.

SMART CITY developed the prototype for its situation room to increase the technology readiness

level (TRL) on infrastructure, transportation, air quality, and energy consumption monitoring

technology on a region scale. This prototype is a set of integrated systems adapted to its environment

in the form of digital application.

c. CDSR

During the quarter, CDSR conducted trainings in Gorontalo and Yogjayakarta on Building Energy

Analyses and Sustainable Renewable Energy Development. Meanwhile the CCR sent scholars to

present at four conferences in three countries - Japan, China and Indonesia – with a primary focus on

renewable and sustainable energy.

CDSR’s U.S. affiliate, University of Colorado, Boulder (UCB) led a training at UGM for representatives

from UGM and Indonesian affiliates IPB, ITB and Universitas Bangka Belitung (UBB).

As mentioned above, another milestone for CDSR was signing an agreement with ITS that will provide

access to their maritime laboratories, maritime knowledge products, and experts in maritime studies

for supporting the CCR’s hybrid renewable energy research focus.

d. NCSTT

NCSTT invited Dr. Robert Van Der Hilst, Head of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and

Planetary Sciences, from its U.S. affiliate, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), to ITB to

present on best practices in enhancing collaboration among different disciplines, establishing

multidisciplinary research centers, and partnering with industry to increase innovation.

As part of NCSTT’s capacity building efforts, Dr. Dominicus Danardono from NCSTT’s Indonesian

affiliate member Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) attended the MIT Professional Education course in

July, titled Additive Manufacturing: From 3D Printing to Factory Floor. Following the training, Dr.

Danardono conducted a workshop to CCR scholars in Indonesia, titles Research Collaboration – Case

Study on Mechanical Engineering Field to disseminate the knowledge obtained from the MIT course and

ensure that others benefited from this professional development opportunity.

11

NCSTT also conducted a workshop on Research Establishment with Sustainable Management Strategy

on August 8 in Manado. The topics covered included proposal writing and strategies to obtain external

research funds, knowledge and experience obtained in MIT PE – the innovation process, and

intellectual property policy in higher education. All of these topics are essential to establishing a

successful research collaboration with sufficient funds that adopt adequate policies related to

intellectual property.

NCSTT also organized and held the 11th Annual International Conference on Fracture and Strength

of Solids (FEOFS) from August 26-29. Researchers from Indonesia, Japan, and the UK presented their

research results on vehicle structure as part of electric vehicle research. This conference enabled

researchers to build their capacity in presenting research progress and creating conference papers.

On September 18, NCSTT the ITB-CEO NET & Echnopreneurship Festival 2018: Orchestrating

Innovation Ecosystem through Science and Technology, aimed at establishing strong collaboration among

academia, the government, and the business sector / industry sector. This event included key notes

by notable individuals in the field, including Jumain Appe, Directorate General Innovation

Strengthening, Kemrisktekdikit and Bambang Riyanto Trilaksono, Vice Rector, ITB.

Another NCSTT event of note was a seminar called Female Empowerment on Scientific Writing and

International Research Collaboration, held on September 26 at Universitas Pertamina (UP) in Jakarta. The

speakers included The seminar was an exciting opportunity for women researchers to talk about their

challenges in the research and academic fields and explore solutions. Speakers included prominent

women in the research and technology field.

NCSTT Indonesian affiliate members UNDIP and Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) executed contracts

with PT PLN, State Electricity Corporation, and BPPT, Agency for The Assessment and Application of

Technology, which will enable CCR’s use of their laboratory and materials. Additionally, Indonesian

affiliate UNSRI obtained data from the Palembang Department of Transportation to support NCSTT’s

research in Transit-oriented Development (ToD).

e. ANBIOCORE

In July, ANBIOCORE invited Dr. Christopher Lane from their U.S. affiliate University of Rhode Island

(URI) to lead a training to scholars from their coral reef fisheries research cluster from the CCR lead,

IPB, and Indonesian affiliate UNRAM on data collection. In addition, URI researchers Dr. Austin

Humphries and Paul G. Carvalho conducted field training to the same group in the Lombok Straits.

ANBIOCORE’s veterinary science research cluster invited Dr. Erdogan Mimili from U.S. affiliate

Mississippi State University (MSU) to lead trainings on the fundamentals and application of bioethics in

animal and fisheries research to CCR scholars in Bogor; scientific communication and proposal writing

in international scientific publications to CCR scholars in Aceh; and strengthening research quality

through scientific writing and capacity building to CCR scholars in Kupang.

In addition, he led a reproduction and obstetrics presentation at ANBIOCORE’s Indonesian affiliate

UGM’s Indonesian Association of Veterinary Reproduction Department, at Faculty of Veterinary

Medicine, on lessons learned from MSU for Ph.D. students from their affiliate partners. ANBIOCORE

optimized the US scholar’s visit by conducting on-going mentoring for PhD students on the research

topic and methodology, analysis and proposal and manuscript writing. This benefited the students in

finalizing their proposal preparations for the next international conference.

On July 24, ANBIOCORE signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BET Cipelang, an

animal biotechnology development center specializing in embryo transfers in bulls in Cipelang, Bogor.

As a part of their participation, BET Cipelang will provide elite calves for evaluation of their genetic

superiority.

12

On August 2, ANBIOCORE signed an MoU with BPTU HPT, an animal biotechnology development

and breeding center in Indrapuri, Aceh. BPTU-HPT Indrapuri will be responsible for conducting

maintenance and production of superior livestock sperm for use at the cattle breeding center at

UNSYIAH.

Lastly, ANBIOCORE conducted coordination meetings to discuss research and management with the

affiliate members.

During this quarter, IIE finalized the hiring process for a Public-Private Engagement (PPE) consultant

to support the program in implementing its strategy and cultivating relationships with the public and

private sector. IIE anticipates this person begin early in the upcoming quarter.

III. Operations

3.1 Revisions to SHERA’s Grants Process

Taking into account learnings from the CCRs’ first year of implementation, IIE spent time reviewing

and revising SHERA’s processes and templates for advance requests and documentation requirements

for financial reporting, to create increased efficiency. IIE believes that these streamlined processes will

help to stabilize CCR leads’ cash flow and streamline expense reconciliations. The will be included in

the CCR leads’ award modifications, to be executed in the upcoming quarter.

3.2 IIE Internal Auditor visit

Members of IIE’s Internal Audit team visited Indonesia in August as a part of a complete program audit

of SHERA. They interviewed the IIE SHERA field team, as well as CCR management at UNPAD and

ITB. A high-level summary will be shared with USAID once available.

3.3 IIEF Modified Scope

In order to properly monitor and remain compliant with regulations associated with exchange visitors

(EV), IIE has renegotiated the role of its implementing partner, the Indonesian International Education

Foundation (IIEF). Through an award modification and budget realignment, IIEF will soon be

responsible for processing J1 visas and monitoring these individuals while they are in the U.S. for work

under SHERA.

3.4 Project Office Relocation

Due to a recent change in ownership of SHERA’s project office in Menara Imperium, IIE identified a

new office space at Gran Rubina Office Park. Over the quarter, the SHERA team prepared for the

move, which included negotiating the terms under which to break its current lease agreement,

selecting a new office space and procuring the services of a company to fit-out the new office space.

The team plans to move into the new office space at the beginning of next quarter.

3.5 Visa Requirements for CCR scholars’ Travel to the U.S.

SHERA began to process a J1 visa for the first EV who will travel to the U.S. through NCSTT. The

EV’s documents have been verified and are now under review in D.C. IIE anticipates that the EV will

receive final approval by the end of October. As mentioned above, in future quarters this process will

be handled by IIEF.

3.6 Recruitment of MEL Officer

IIE is currently recruiting for a MEL Officer to support the program’s data recording and reporting

and develop a Management Information System (MIS). SHERA anticipates hiring this position in the

upcoming quarter.

3.7 Update to SHERA Performance Indicator

The SHERA team conducted a survey to all CCRs to collect data on SHERA’s performance indicator

3.1.2., number of scholars at CCR institutions with increased access to external resources and

academic research engines. The survey was conducted in August 2018 with 189 of 237 scholars (79.7%)

responding to the online questionnaire. Through this survey, the SHERA team was trying to

understand if the program is in fact increasing access to external academic research engines. Of those

respondents, 94% reported an increase in access to academic research engines since participating in

SHERA.

IV. Challenges

4.1 CCR Program and Operational Capacity

From the quarterly meetings and virtual mentoring sessions, it become clear this quarter that more

training is needed for the CCRs to understand SHERA’s business process and theory of change. To

address this, the SHERA MEL team has noted that these trainings can no longer just involve the MEL

staff at CCRs, but must also involve the CCR lead management.

After one year of training on financial and grants management, IIE experienced significant signs that

the CCRs have a full understanding of the required information and documentation for financial

reporting. IIE acknowledges, however, that additional work is needed to streamline the advance

request process. To address this, it has created revised processes and templates to better capture

actual cash on-hand. These revisions will be presented to the CCR leads during the upcoming quarter.

Along with challenges encountered across most CCR leads, each had unique challenges, as outlined

below:

CCR ARI

Due to CCR ARI’s Finance Manager experiencing an illness, they were consistently late in submitting

their financial reports to IIE between May-July. This, in turn, impacted their ability to request new

14

funds. To address any deficiencies, the SHERA team traveled to Bandung to work with the CCR team

directly in August. By the end of the quarter, UNPAD was fully up-to-date on financial reporting.

During this quarter, IIE was notified that UNPAD instituted an unnecessary tax on the most recent

advance received. The Vice Rector of Finance confirmed that this was a misunderstanding and that it

will be corrected. As IIE is concerned that this deduction will happen in the future, it continues to

work closely with the CCR to ensure senior leadership is aware of the purpose of the funds when

transferred to the Rectorate account.

SMART CITY

In UI’s initial proposal to IIE to implement SMART CITY, it included three U.S. affiliates, University of

Florida (UF), UIUC, and SSU. UI experienced difficulty moving their award with SSU through the

university for final execution and, after reaching back-out to the university PIC, discovered that this

was due to the fact that the PIC had moved to AAMU. To ensure that the research collaboration was

not stalled further, UI proposed to split the funding for SSU between SSU and AAMU. Due to the

close relationship between UI and the PIC at AAMU, an award between the two was able to be

executed soon after. UI, however, is still having difficulty in executing the awards with UIUC and SSU.

IIE has discussed this at length with UI and given a deadline of mid-October to execute these

agreements or IIE will reallocate the funds.

CDSR

Due to consistently incomplete financial reporting leading into this quarter, the SHERA team dedicated

time to work with the CCR over Skype during this quarter to address their questions and areas of

misunderstanding. IIE is happy to report that by August, all financial reporting was up-to-date and

approved.

NCSTT

NCSTT experienced challenges procuring equipment needed for their research activity during this

quarter. It had not built in the necessary time to seek USAID approval and it experienced its own

internal challenges related to ITB’s procurement policies. At this time, NCSTT has received the

necessary approvals and the procurement has been finalized, however the Directorate of Finance will

not make the payments to vendors, as ITB’s institutional policy states that the equipment must first

be tested and technically approved by the user. Only at that time will the payment be made and the

procurement considered fully executed. This has greatly extended the timeline associated with their

related research activities.

Another challenge NCSTT faced this quarter was related to ITB internal policies that commit any

projected funds for payments above IDR 50 Million, including salary, honorarium, researcher

allowances, including payments for publication, and purchase of goods and services to vendors. This

allows for little flexibility in how funds are spent and greatly lengthens the time associated with

reconciling an advance from IIE. It also does not support NCSTT with unplanned activities that are

necessary to meet the program objectives. This is not a sustainable process and NCSTT and IIE will

need to escalate this issue to the Director of Finance to find a solution in the upcoming quarter.

ANBIOCORE

ANBIOCORE has seen turnover with its Finance Managers, which has slowed their financial reporting

process. In addition, ANBIOCORE has not finalized modifications to their agreements with both of

their U.S. affiliates. This in turn as delayed activities and further slowed spending. SHERA’s Program

Director sent a letter to ANBIOCORE leadership stating IIE’s concern and notifying them that new

advance funds would not be processed until both modifications are fully executed.

4.2 SHERA Operations

IIE continues to seek exemption for the VAT it incurred on the SHERA project’s office rent between

April-October 2018. IIE began this process in early June 2018 and only received the necessary

15

responses from USAID, Kemristekdikti and State Secretary to continue the exemption process in mid-

September.

IIE paid the tax in advance and when it received the letter from the State Secretary, it only mentioned

seeking restitution, as opposed to exemption. IIE has received guidance to contact customer service

of the Directorate General of Tax Office at Badan dan Orang Asing (BADORA, Foreign Corporate and

Individual Tax Service Office and will continue this process in the upcoming quarter.

V. Activities Anticipated for Next Quarter (October - December 2018)

5.1 CCR Bi- Annual Meeting

IIE will hold a bi-annual meeting for all CCR leads in Yogyakarta, hosted by UGM, in early December

2018. Attendees will include CCR leadership, management, and relevant support staff. The meeting

objectives will include sharing successes, lessons learned, and challenges in meeting key targets during

CCRs’ Year 2; discussing CCR plans for the upcoming two quarters; and identifying the primary

operations-related challenges and breakthroughs.

5.2 CCR Direct Mentoring In the upcoming quarter, SHERA’s MEL team will conduct a training for all CCR MEL team members

focused on the program’s theory of change and learning. The training will be a collaboration with

SHERA’s Outreach and Communications Specialist in order to record the event and post it to

SHERA’s communications platforms to share with stakeholders and the general public.

5.3 Stakeholder Engagement

USAID/Indonesia recently changed its country development cooperation strategy (CDCS), which will

likely result in changes to SHERA’s KPIs, as well as SHERA’s responsible agency within the GOI. Once

more information is received, IIE and USAID will need to work closely to assess the possible impact

to the program. Once Kemristekdikti has been informed, SHERA will update the CCR lead’s

management on the changes and impact to the program. IIE anticipates that the program’s 2018 –

2019 implementation plan will require further revisions based on this change.

5.4 IIE Home Office Travel

IIE’s Controller and Finance Operations Specialist will travel to Indonesia to visit SHERA and IIE’s

other USAID-funded projects in October. The Controller will meet with USAID, as well as the USAID

project teams to review internal control and fraud prevention and best practices in subrecipient

monitoring. The Finance Operation Specialist will meet with all projects individually to review

program-specific items. In addition, he will participate in a two-day meeting with the CCR leads.

5.5 USAID Participation in CCR International Conferences

SMART CITY Indonesian affiliate UNPAD will hold an international conference, titled 2018

International Conference on SMART CITY Innovation on October 25-26 in Bandung, which will focus on

innovations in the planning and urban development sector. The event will be attended by the

Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil; UNPAD Chancellor, Tri Hanggono Ahmad; USAID Acting

Deputy Mission Director, Betty Chung; SHERA AOR, Jalu Cahyanto, and SHERA Program Director,

Prima Setiawan, as well as international speakers, practitioners and researchers from various

universities.

Additionally, NCSTT will hold the 5th International Conference on Electric Vehicular Technology

(ICEVT) in Surakarta in October. This event will be hosted by UNS and will bring national and

international researchers to share their research progress on sustainable transportation and ideas for

future research.

Annex IV:

Survey on Access to External Academic Research Engines

Background

USAID Sustainable Higher Education Research Alliance (SHERA) is a $20 million, five-year higher education

partnership program supported by USAID to increase the research capacity of Indonesia higher education sector

into a world class university, to improve the enabling environment for quality research, and to increase

collaboration among Indonesia and U.S. Higher Education Institution (HEI). USAID SHERA collaborates with

Ministry of Research Technology & Higher Education to select 5(five) focus critical areas in the country’s

development, and to develop 5 (five) Centre for Collaborative Research (CCR) within top Indonesian

Universities. This program objective also encourage collaboration between CCRs and public/private institution

to strengthening their research and activities into sustainable research centre.

SHERA’s implementation of activities with CCRs was commenced in June 2017 and it is now into its second year

of implementation. During this period, the CCRs have conducted activities on building capacities of their

researchers on research methods as well as building their own internal team to be able to implement the

activities as per approved workplans. Within the past year, there have been a significant number of learning from

these activities and where the monitoring & evaluation activities have been performed as well to ensure that

activities were conducted properly. SHERA acknowledges that monitoring, evaluation and learning is an area

where the CCRs are not yet accustomed to implement on a daily basis. Current practice shows that they are

heavily involved in the “monitoring” area where mainly focusing on data collection process –there have not yet

the opportunity to review the data and try to under the circumstances and how the learning can be extracted

and utilized to improve project management. In this case, the research process and how the CCR activities (as

institution) are being implemented.

During its second year, SHERA plans to implement rapid survey to collect information whether SHERA scholars

were aware and utilized the external resources provided by their respective CCR. The findings of this rapid

survey will be also used as part of the annual reporting for USAID.

Objective of the Rapid Survey

The objective of the rapid survey is to respond and provide data for SHERA performance indicator 3.1.2 on

“number of scholars at CCR institutions with increased access to external resources and academic research engines.”

Key Questions

The key questions for the survey are as follows:

1) Which type of the following engines that you most frequently used? How often do you access each

academic research engines to support your research?

2) How do you rate usefulness of those engines to support your research activity?

3) Did you find that you use more academic research engines now compared to the time before you

involved in CCR USAID SHERA research activities?

It was thought important that to assess and respond to the specific performance indicator, the project should

not limit itself by asking the scholars about “access”, but also seeking information if the scholars thought the

access were useful for them and provided sufficient information related to their respective research. Therefore,

three different set of questions were designed to help the project gathered the information.

For each question, there were a four-scale option where score one indicates the lowest and four indicates the

highest. SHERA calculated the number of scholars whose responses were either three or four for each question,

then took an average number based on those responses. The results are described on the following section on

key findings.

58

Implementation of Rapid Survey

The 2018 rapid survey was carried out online during the period of August 12 through August 31st, 2018. Of the

targeted 237 scholars across CCRs, 189 scholars (79.7%) provided response to the online questionnaire. The

target was at least 80% response rate. However, current responses rate by completion of the online survey was

thought to be sufficient for further analysis. The detailed demographic data will be lined out in a separate section

in this document.

The limitation of the Rapid Survey

The data collection process of the rapid survey was carried out through online survey. This method was selected

by taking into account the geographical spread where the scholars are located (either in the respective institution

or was in the field during data collection period). This has provided several limitations to this survey, such as:

Majority of the questions were simple and required short multiple responses without necessarily asking

the respondents to provide reasoning. This design was intentional to make a short set of questions for

online survey to ensure higher rate of responses. Therefore, analysis is limited to interpret the basic

responses provided by scholars

Online data collection method and small window time of response have limited the opportunities for

scholars to provide feedback or clarify on specific meaning of questions

Difficulties to expect a 100% response rate as not all targeted scholars were online and available during

data collection period

Key Findings

The calculation for responding to SHERA performance indicator 3.1.2 was by using those three questions line

out above and –based on the responses received from the scholars—draw an average score to reflect a snapshot

of number of scholars with increased access to external research resources and academic research engines. The

finding of the rapid survey showed that on average 178 scholars (94%) found that they either often used the

research engines to support their survey, found those research engines useful and therefore they thought they

use more research academic engines compared to the time they have not worked with the respective CCR.

These sentiments are the same across all five CCRs as the majority of the scholars who responded to the online

rapid survey also responded the same.

Below is the table describing the number of scholars with increased access to academic research engines and its

breakout by CCR.

Table 1. Scholars with Increased Access to Academic Research Engines

Project/CCR

Average Number of Scholars

with Increased Access to

Academic Research Engines

Percentage

ANBIOCORE - Food Security and Self-Sufficiency 7 78%

CDSR - Energy, Environment and Maritime Science 82 95%

NCSTT - Innovative Technologies 38 96%

ARI - Public Health & Infectious Disease 20 89%

SMART CITY - Urban Planning and Development 31 98%

SHERA 178 94%

A more detailed finding also showed that the majority of the scholars in all five CCRs admitted that they

frequently use the external resources and at least found them useful to support their research. ANBIOCORE

scholars may score the lowest out of the five CCRs (at 56%) on frequency of using the resources, but it also

important to note the facts that there were 9 scholars’ responses (at the time of the online rapid survey being

59

carried out, ANBIOCORE only have nine scholars in research activity and all came from the Lead CCR). All

other four CCRs are at the level of 82% or higher.

On the area of usefulness of external resources and increased access, all five CCRs score at 89% or higher. Also,

that it is interesting to mention that even though scholars admitted that they were less frequently accessing the

external resources, they are all in the same positive sentiments that those external resources were useful for

their research and at some points admitted that and now they access more resources compared to the period

before being part of the respective CCR. The data of these findings is available at the following table.

Table 2. Scholars with Increased Access to Academic Research Engines by Variables

CCR Variables Percentage

ANBIOCORE - Food Security and Self-

Sufficiency Frequency of accessing the resources 56%

Usefulness of the resources 89%

Increased access to resources 89%

CDSR - Energy, Environment and Maritime

NCSTT - Innovative Technologies Frequency of accessing the resources 98%



ARI - Public Health & Infectious Disease Frequency of accessing the resources 82%



SMART CITY - Urban Planning and

Development Frequency of accessing the resources 97%



Other finding also shows that journals (as one of the options for external resources) are the type of external

resource that is frequently being used and thought to be highly useful compared to the other type of external

resources –which are, websites, books and encyclopaedia. Scholars also generally responded that they are more

accessing the journal compared to the period before involved in the CCR. These behaviours seem to be

commonly practiced among scholars of the five CCRs, where encyclopaedia is the least used of choice when it

comes to accessing external resources available. Looking at these practices, it may provide an insight information

for the respective CCR which resources are most frequently used by the scholars and help them to be able to

get the most of information out of it to support the respective research. Below is the table for the average score

for usage of specific type of external resources.

Journals 3.47 3.80 3.09

Recommendation and Next Steps

Below is the list of recommendations and possible next steps to be carried by SHERA in anticipating for similar

survey by the end of FY2019:

1. Where journals are the most frequent accessed external resources across all five CCRs, it is

recommended for SHERA to engaged with the respective Lead CCR to ensure that scholars are able

to continuously access those journals

2. Encouraging and mentoring the respective Lead CCR to regularly updating the content of their website

by considering what are the resources needed by the scholars –this is especially sound that websites

are the second most frequent used by scholars. Having the necessary journals pooled into one location

might be a way to make it easier for scholars to access external resources and eventually may increase

the level of access

3. Facilitate discussions with USAID and the respective CCR to set target for FY2019

Response Rate and Scholars’ Demographic by CCRs

In total, there are 237 registered scholars at all five CCRs as per recorded in their respective researcher log

sheets. Initially the rapid survey targeted a minimum of 80% response rate of all CCR scholars combined.

However, until the agreed deadline set for August 31th, 2018, there were 189 scholars provided responses

through the online questionnaire – this made the response rate at the level of 79.7%, slightly less than the

targeted 80%. Necessary effort was made to encourage all involved scholars with SHERA’s collaborative research

activities but not all of them made it. Nevertheless, the response is acceptable for follow up data analysis and

reporting as SHERA is looking at information how the scholars are using the external resources during the

collaborative research activities with SHERA programming. Generally, there is no set standard of what is an

acceptable minimum response rate for online survey although it is generally preferable to have a higher responses

(>80) for small number of target respondents –on average response rate for only survey is approximately 29%.1

The summary of scholars who provided responses by CCR is lined out at the table below.

https://surveyanyplace.com/average-survey-response-rate/

61

Table above shows that except ANBIOCORE, all four CCRs have less than targeted number of scholars able to

respond to the rapid survey. Among these four, SMART CITY scored the highest response rate (94.1%), while

NCSTT was the lowest (70.2%). Scheduling conflict with the scholars might be responded as the most common

issues across the CCR where not all of them were able to respond to the survey. However, the fact that at least

70% of scholars who participating in research collaborative activities managed to respond to this survey (within

two weeks of data collection period) is a positive sign that communications between CCRs and its researchers

are well established and perhaps during next year’s rapid survey the response rate would increase as more

period of data collection would be allocated.

ANBIOCORE –on the other hand—while exceeding the targeted 7 scholars, only scholars from Fisheries cluster

were able to participate in the survey. Others from Veterinary cluster was not present as the moment of data

collection they are still in the phase of preparing the planned collaborative research and therefore the names of

the researchers participating was not yet finalized. Other four CCRs seems to have quite a balanced share of

clusters that provided responses to the survey, with at least there is one response from each cluster, in which

the details can be seen below at the following table.

NCSTT seems to have the most balanced of its researchers completed the survey –with the exception that only

one researcher from LRT Design cluster provided response to the survey. CDSR and SMART CITY also each

has cluster with only one response. Therefore, even though this survey may provide a representative picture of

how the scholars from each CCR use the external resources in relation to their respective collaborative research

activities, cautious may be required when analysis at cluster to level to be carried out.

62

As far as the targeted scholars with a minimum of S2/Master to be eligible as respondents, the next finding shows

that all scholars provided responses were eligible to participate in this survey –as the SHERA MEL Team also

encouraged the CCRs to focus on those eligible as respondents when asking them to participate in this survey,

in which can be seen at the following table.

Table 6. Education Background by CCR and Cluster
