Student Participation in Research

| Office of Research | News | Directory |

Capacity Building

One of Alfaisal’s priorities is competence building by, for example, helping to develop a student’s intellectual abilities. Student involvement in focused research that addresses real community problems links academic programs to the actual work place through partnerships with the public/private sectors. This will help to equip students with critical thinking and problem solving skills and thus allow them to better meet the needs of the workplace and the community.

Protection of Students

It is the responsibility of the Primary Investigator (PI) to ensure that students who participate in research are made aware of the ethical policies and procedures and that compliance must be maintained. An account of student involvement must be detailed in the research protocol to ensure that all safety measures and necessary precautions have been taken. Endorsement forms for participation of students in research must be signed by the PI and student(s) involved.

Recognition

Principal Investigators must acknowledge the contribution of students to their scholarship and research in all forms including Intellectual Works, Property, and Patents (as per property of policies and procedures section 12 Intellectual Property)

Graduate Research

Alfaisal University will ensure its position as a research-based university by promoting the involvement of graduate students.
