The office has also worked towards institutionalization of research in the healthcare system of the province by capacity development, policy change, and health system alignment to the community needs. With the establishment of Bhitai Dental & Medical College (BDMC), the Department of Research was created with the aim of strengthening the efforts to produce high-quality research and create a research culture at the college. The department has a significant role both in teaching as well as monitoring the processes related to research at BDMC.

To achieve its mission and strategic objectives, the Office of Research Innovation & Commercialization has not only focused on postgraduate and faculty but also on undergraduate capacity building in research. The Department of Research office believes that if one has a stronger research knowledge base, the outcome later is more meaningful and rewarding. Some of the aspects of the Department of Research that focus on undergraduates are that the Department of Research has done a review of the curriculum of medical institutions to involve research as an active component and subject. The office also applied the ranking of medical institutions based upon quality and quantity of research produced each year, a regular program of providing updates on clinical sciences for medical students, and one full day in the Annual Health Research Conference has been dedicated to the undergraduate level to provide them maximum motivation and involvement.
At the postgraduate level, the Department of Research is highly motivated to improve the capacity of the researchers at both public and private levels. Major activities of the Department of Research for the postgraduate level are a series of Research Methodology & Proposal Development, Biostatistics, and SPSS workshops; workshops on EndNote; one dedicated day to the Annual Health Research Conference; twice-yearly workshops on bioethics; and twice-yearly workshops on emergency medicine. In addition to the above-mentioned series of workshops, the Department of Research is also looking after a master’s program in health research and a certificate program in health research for those who are highly motivated and enthusiastic about building careers in health research and biostatistics.
At the faculty level, the Department of Research carries out the objective of building their capacity through a series of workshops on medical writing and proposal development, a certificate in the Health Research Program, a certificate in clinical trials through the CRCP program, a workshop on clinical ethics, symposia on nutritional issues, and a regular program of competency enhancement for clinicians.
