Policies and guidelines in the conduct of Research Activities

✓ Major steps in Developing the R & D programs

Research programs are generally considered as consisting of
interrelated and complementary projects usually implemented using the

multidisciplinary or transdisciplinary approach to meet established goals within

specific time frames. They are usually broken down into projects that consist
of interrelated studies also designed to meet predetermined objectives

within a specific time frame. The major steps include:

• Identification of strong research leaders

The development of research programs in the
University starts with the

identification of research leaders with the necessary competencies
in terms of knowledge, skills, values and attitudes.

• Creation of an Ad Hoc Committee

This will be followed by creating an Ad Hoc Committee
preferably of five members

from the various disciplines who shall craft the common research
framework.

• Appointment of experts to review and package proposal

Experts from the University Expert Pool shall then
be sought to review the

research program proposal after which the research program
proposal shall be packaged first-class by providing all the needed

information for donor support.

• Invitation of prospective fund donors.

Prospective donors shall then be invited for a visit
and briefing about the

program.
