RESEARCH IN MOI UNIVERSITY
Prof. B. L. Wishitemi,
DVC, Research & Extension
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.
