The Moi University Act gives the University the Mandate to carry out Research. The University undertakes technically oriented research both in the basic and applied disciplines. The Research Projects are expected to; maintain strong relationships with communities, conform to the broad National objectives, supplement teaching and solve problems of the rural communities. Research activities are carried out in the University teaching departments and are coordinated, monitored and evaluated by the University Research Committee through the office of the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Extension). In recognition of the need for multidisciplinary involvement in achieving pragmatic solutions to the myriad human problems, the research units collaborate with researchers within and without the University to provide a distinct research density at the 'Centres of Research Excellence'. The University sets aside funds as the University Research Fund (URF) given out as University Research Grants to competitive Project Proposals from the University Research Community. The University Research Grants often does not meet its demand and members of the university apply for grants from other sources. The results of the University Research Projects are disseminated through field days organized by the Projects, stakeholders meetings, conferences and are presented during the Moi University Annual Research Conference and other conferences. Project findings are published as University Publications in the Conference Proceedings and University Journals. Click on the links below to view the following:
