Message from the Dean |
|
|
|
Scientific Research constitutes a major component of the mission of most institutions of higher education. It
is also a prerequisite for developmental activities of nations and societies over the history. Being part of
KFUPM as a leading University in the region, the Deanship of Scientific Research (DSR), does not only support
research activities of our faculty, but also contributes to their scholarly and teaching skills through
research projects, conference attendance support, and collaboration with international institutions.
We in the Deanship of Scientific Research assume the role of supporting and facilitating research activities of
our faculty. We are doing our utmost efforts to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of research
activities at KFUPM. We strive to achieve our goal of leadership in quality research that is focused and
directed towards excellence in the areas of expertise of our faculty. We hope to create the support, guidance
and productive environment that will enhance quality research outputs and will support KFUPM leadership role in
the local as well as the international community.
The support provided by DSR to the research community at KFUPM includes internally funded projects through
KFUPM grants, externally funded projects through SABIC and similar grants, bookwriting grants, and sabbatical
leave projects. In addition to that and in order to support the junior faculty to get on board actively in
research, the Deanship of Scientific Research sponsors the Junior Faculty Grant (JFG) designed for fresh young
graduate faculty members. Supporting research and scholarly activities is not limited to research areas of the
University, but is also extended to serving the community through Arabic bookwriting and translation
initiatives in addition to societal grants for studies of relevance and benefit to the local society.
Collaboration with international research institutions is also part of the mission of DSR through sabbatical
leave projects, British Council Summer Grants as well as similar grants. Participation of our faculty in the
international events is also one of the generous support provided by KFUPM to its faculty through DSR by
supporting faculty attendance of reputable regional and international conferences and scientific
meetings.
We count on our faculty and graduate students to play the major role in achieving our common goal of excellence
in research. We also invite you all to provide us with your suggestions and feedback for the improvement of
the services we provide to the research community.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
