The Research and Development (R&D) Policy at Nims University is designed to guide all individuals involved in the university’s research endeavors, promoting a culture of ethical integrity, collaborative effort, and innovation. This policy is essential for all members of the research community, including faculty, research staff, and students, ensuring alignment with the university’s objectives and commitment to excellence in scholarly pursuits.
Research expectations extend to undergraduate, graduate and PhD scholars participating in projects, thesis work, and research training under faculty supervision, ensuring that they contribute to research in a responsible and ethical manner.
All academic and research personnel engaged in scholarly work or projects. This includes both permanent and temporary staff who contribute to advancing knowledge in their fields.
Individuals or organizations engaged in collaborative research with Nims University, including industry partners, NGO’s and researchers from other national/international institutions, are expected to uphold the ethical and professional standards set by this policy.
All research activities must adhere to high ethical standards, fostering a culture of honesty, transparency, and respect for intellectual property. The policy encourages researchers to maintain accountability in their work and conduct their activities with respect for societal, environmental, and professional standards.
To maximize resources and impact, researchers are encouraged to establish partnerships with external institutions, industries and NGO’s, provided that these collaborations respect the guidelines of this policy, particularly concerning intellectual property and research ethics.
Nims University is committed to helping researchers protect their discoveries through intellectual property (IP) rights, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Researchers are also encouraged to publish their findings in respected, peer-reviewed journals, contributing to the broader academic and professional community.
This policy supports efforts to secure both internal and external funding. Faculty and researchers are encouraged to seek grants and financial support, with clear guidelines provided for the responsible use and reporting of all resources.
The university requires all research to meet the regulations set by national authorities, such as the UGC, including areas involving human and animal subjects, data confidentiality, and safety protocols. Researchers are expected to be aware of and comply with these standards to ensure ethical and lawful practices.
The Research and Innovation Cell is the university’s central governing body for research policy, strategy, and development. This cell coordinates university- wide research activities, promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, and provides strategic direction to foster a thriving research environment.
The IEC is responsible for reviewing all research involving human subjects, ensuring that studies meet ethical standards that protect participant rights, autonomy, and welfare. Researchers must obtain IEC approval prior to initiating any studies involving human participants. The IEC reviews proposals, informed consent forms, and data handling protocols to ensure compliance with both national and international ethical standards.
The Institutional Grant Committee evaluates and administers financial support for research projects, providing funding for innovative and impactful research proposals. This committee is responsible for managing both intramural and extramural funding opportunities, assessing applications based on academic merit, feasibility, and potential contributions to society. The committee also assists researchers in identifying potential external funding sources and preparing grant applications.
To uphold research integrity, NIMS University has established the Plagiarism Disciplinary Authority, which addresses issues related to academic misconduct, specifically plagiarism. This authority conducts thorough investigations into suspected cases of plagiarism, enforces penalties when necessary, and provides guidance on ethical writing and citation practices. The authority is also responsible for educating researchers on best practices for maintaining originality in academic work and avoiding unintentional plagiarism.
