The establishment of the Research Cell is based on the need to develop a structured and sustainable research culture among faculty members and students and to ensure that research activities are aligned with institutional priorities, national health needs, ethical requirements, and recognized standards of scientific research.
The Research Cell provides an organized platform for research planning, capacity building, protocol development, ethical review coordination, statistical support, research supervision, data management, scientific writing, publication, and dissemination of research findings. It also facilitates collaboration among different departments and promotes multidisciplinary research addressing locally relevant health problems.
The Research Cell will particularly support faculty and undergraduate students in developing research skills through research methodology training, workshops on biostatistics and SPSS, scientific writing, literature review, proposal development, publication ethics. It will also maintain appropriate documentation and monitoring mechanisms for ongoing and completed research projects.
