Our
Our research is based upon our current and future researchers (staff and students) and what we aspire to do… We have aligned our research strategies with the national research priorities, bearing in mind the national transformation plan and the Vision 2030 of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Our research community engages in research relevant to the context of a health science institution which is defined as, “A peer-reviewed, disciplined and systematic inquiry undertaken to further knowledge in the field of biomedical sciences, clinical sciences, medical education and public health services.”
The undergraduate student research is defined as “a process of inquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student to enrich the learning experience and to foster the life-long learning process.”
ISNC acknowledges the close and inseparable relationship of research and scholarly activity, and therefore accepts and implements the definition advocated by Boyer (1990) and modified by Weiser (1996), which is defined as “a creative work that is peer reviewed and publicly disseminated.”
