The Scientific Research Center Overview


The Scientific Research Center was established in 2012 to promote, encourage, and support the University's advancement of research and development. The center aims to support faculty, students, and researchers by establishing policies and guidelines to govern research practices to protect the safety and confidentiality of human subjects, conform to research ethics, and offer programs to support DAH researchers in DAH research priorities aligned with the national priorities and the global needs. The center also empowers DAH researchers by facilitating workshops and lectures on research and publishing presented by distinguished researchers in addition to providing support and services to DAH and non-DAH researchers.


Other than holding seminars, research forums, and scientific conferences to disseminate research and contribute to the knowledge economy, by shedding light on DAH research projects and facilitating publication, the Scientific Research Center seeks to build sustainable partnerships with several sectors such as the development and economic sectors to maximize the benefit of the research outcomes.
