<![CDATA[A progressive research and innovation ecosystem plays a crucial role in driving a country's development. Universities serve as fundamental institutions for knowledge creation and innovation, relying on a strong and dynamic research ecosystem composed of various interacting components. Research funding programs function as the primary drivers and catalysts for fostering a productive and evolving research environment. This study employs a literature review method, drawing from sources such as scientific journals, academic books, research articles, and other relevant documents. In addition, empirical data were collected from research proposals submitted to BRIN between 2022 and 2024, providing a contextual basis for analysis. The collected data is then examined using a descriptive quantitative analysis method to identify trends, distributions, and patterns in research proposals. Findings highlight the significant role of BRIN’s research and innovation funding programs in strengthening the research ecosystem within higher education institutions. These programs function not merely as financial allocation instruments, but as strategic catalysts that drive improvements in research quality and productivity, enhance human resource capacity, expand cross-sectoral collaboration, and accelerate institutional transformation toward a more adaptive, dynamic, and globally competitive innovation ecosystem.]]>
