The prime objective of the proposed research policy is to motivate the faculty of all the departments to initiate and carry out quality research and other research related activities.
This policy covers faculty members of all departments of the institute.
The scope of the policy foresees, in particular:
Researchers are responsible for assessing the appropriate route for ethical review for their project, with guidance as necessary, making the application and waiting until full approval has been granted before initiating their project. Supervisors of student researchers are responsible for ensuring the student is aware of research ethics review and approval procedures and that the appropriate ethical review procedure is followed by the student. Supervisors of student research are ultimately responsible for the ethical conduct of the research and the student researcher. Student researchers are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the institute requirements for ethical review and approval of research and for carrying out their study in compliance with good research practice and professional ethical guidance relevant to their subject area.
Research committees have been established to promote the research priority of the Institute. The Research Committee has primary responsibility for implementing and ensuring the ethical practices embedded in the research work, research strategy and monitoring it on an ongoing basis. Any academic area has to be identified where there are research gaps and creates the enabling environment so research can flourish. The Research Committee is also responsible for evaluating and approval of research work (research project, research paper, etc.) undertaken by the faculty and students. The Research Committee appointed by the Director consists of Head Research and other faculties to promote the research culture, integrity and responsible research conduct and prevention of plagiarism in the academic research work.
