Protocol for Multidisciplinary Research
1. Objective and Scope
1.1 Promote collaborative and innovative research to address complex medical challenges.2. Interdepartmental Research
2.1 Encourage researchers from diverse disciplines to express interest in collaborating on specific projects.2.2 Define the roles and responsibilities of team members, project leaders, and project coordinators.
3. Project Proposal and Approval
3.1 RLKUMC Research committee will assess the proposed projects' feasibility and potential impact.3.3 The IRB will ensure that projects involving human subjects or sensitive data receive ethical approval before implementation.
4. Collaborative Environment:
4.1 Encourage establishing a collaborative research environment by organizing regular interdisciplinary research seminars, workshops, and networking events.4.2 Promote open communication and knowledge-sharing among researchers from different disciplines.
5. Cross-Training and Skill Development:
5.1 Encourage researchers to participate in cross-disciplinary training programs and workshops.5.2 Facilitate opportunities for skill development in areas relevant to multidisciplinary research.
6. Knowledge Exchange and Dissemination:
6.1 RLKUMC will encourage researchers to present their multidisciplinary findings at conferences, symposiums, and other relevant platforms.6.2 Facilitate the publication of research outcomes in reputable journals.
7. Ethical Considerations:
7.1 Address ethical concerns related to multidisciplinary research involving human subjects or sensitive data (addressed in IRB policy).7.3 Ethical consideration guidelines are prepared (refer to ethical consideration policy) to ensure the ethical conduct of research and protect participants' rights.
8. Community Engagement:
