One research question guided the study while one hypothesis was tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised all 231 staff from the five (5) federal universities in South East, Nigeria. This consisted of 16 staff in TETFund offices and 215 Heads of Departments in the five federal universities in South East, Nigeria. The entire population was used as the study sample purposively. The instrument used for data collection was a researcher-developed questionnaire. The instrument was validated and the reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach Alpha to determine the internal consistency which yielded a reliability index of 0.75. In analyzing the data, mean scores and standard deviation were used to answer the research question. The t-test was used to test the hypothesis at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed among others that, TETFund intervention had a significant impact on research development for effective management of federal universities in South East, Nigeria.
