The Office of Research & Graduate Studies has formed several committees/councils to advise and make recommendations on the overall research governance for Alfaisal University.
The Office of Research & Graduate Studies (ORG) is responsible for assuring
adherence to the University’s and sponsor’s policies and procedures, and for
following ethical standards in conducting research. It provides direction and
guidance in the development, identification, and securing of funding sources as
well as proposal development, submission, administering and closure of awards.
The Office will convey quality services related to development of research
projects, compliance in the conduct of research, intellectual property,
technology transfer, and governance issues related to sponsored programs.
The functional responsibilities of the Office of Research & Graduate Studies
include activities such as funded research projects, release time, and research
scholarship programs. The University Research Council and the Advisory Research
Committee are also under the responsibility of the ORG.
The University Research & Graduate Studies Council, which is chaired by the Vice President for Research & Graduate Studies, is responsible for recommending proposals for internal research funding, when funds become available, based on expert technical reviews. In addition, it is responsible approving and reviewing research priority areas for the University, as well as other research related matters. The Council membership will consist of faculty members from the different colleges and disciplines within the institution. Since the University is in its early stages, the exact composition of the Council will be determined later.
The Advisory Research Committee serves in a consultative capacity to the Vice
President for Research & Graduate Studies on issues pertaining to research
priorities, policies and procedures, and to ensure good governance and best
practice. It is composed of internal and external members from different
disciplines and research backgrounds. Members of the Committee include faculty
from the University and experts with similar ranking from external entities such
as The King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), KSU and KFSHRC.
Committee functions include conducting reviews and approvals of grants in
addition to serving as an advisory board for the University in identifying focus
and strategic areas of research that are in accordance with and serve the
institution’s vision and mission.
