The scientific departments have integrated and coherent research plans about pollution and schistosomiasis.

Research freedom and creativity of staff members have been achieved by the commitment of staff members to the faculty research plan in 70% of their researches, and the remaining 30% is to achieve research freedom and creativity of faculty staff members.

Our ongoing strategy research plan for the next decade (2010-2019) focuses on disease mapping of Sharqia governorate, {phase I (2010-2012)] 50% 0f research -phase II (2013-2015) 30% of research- phase III 2016 – 2018 20% of research – phase IV (2019) 10 % 0F Research} , applied research with topmost priority {phase I (2010- 2012) 30% - phase II (2013-2015) 50%- phase III (2016-2018) 60%- phase IV (2019 70% 0f research }, and new overview in research (20%) annually through out the next decade (2010-2019) to maintain research freedom and creativity hand in hand with putting our health problems map to direct future research and provide makers with real properly deduced data.

II. Teaching staff


27

Many staff members design their research according to the recent development in their specialty area, not in the form of a documented research plan, but according to the individual interests of each.

Each scientific department has a representative in the committee of postgraduate studies & research, which is responsible only for the administration of the research.

A database for the conducted or the published research articles was established where; faculty staff members and their research data were uploaded in the database.

PUBLISHED RESEARCH IN CONFERENCES AND PERIODICALS:

Other papers were also published in Egyptian and Arabic journals in 2006-2007. However eighty two papers were published in international journals.

RESEARCH PROJECTS: Two faculty members awarded for the best research projects in the faculty of
