a) International Science Partnerships :
Targeted Research Teams and Funds to support scientific advancement

• This program helps to establish new research programs (Centers, Institutions) to target areas of research that give strengths to QF’s research agenda and support other Qatari research initiatives. It is meant to direct concentrated efforts in a particular area of work that is of strategic importance to QF and Qatar.
  
  

• This also helps put together research teams that are required to kick start future programmes that have been identified in the long term plan of QF in which the  expertise needed is currently not available or because it is new to Qatar.

b) Scientific Coordination & Compliance :

Scientific Coordination 

• This involves developing a strategic plan for advancing scientific research activities in QF, serving to give clarity in the long term development of scientific research activities in QF to ensure synergy and integration.
   

• This program also allows the Research Division to establish a model to advance science and technology research activities in a coordinated manner linking with the National Research Strategy.

Scientific and Research Compliance

This program involves the development of strategies and plans for research with clearly identified programmes for QF. This serves to provide clarity in the direction and advancement of biomedical research within Education City.

To ensure the highest standard for the conduct of scientific research  within education city, including but not limited to;

• Bio-safety
  The bio-safety legislation is seen as a critical milestone for biomedical research to progress in Qatar. This program is designed to help implement the bio-safety legislation within Education City in coordination with relevant authorities (i.e. Ministry of Health) and research implementers within Qatar and Internationally.
  
  

• Chemical and Radioactive Research Materials Use and Disposal
  This is conducted in coordination with relevant authorities such as
  
  
• Other Issues as Appropriate
  
  

c) Institutional Research and Monitoring :

The institutional review is a critical task to ensure transparency, assessment and accountability of research programs funded by QF and conducted within Education City;

• Initial Assessment (Qatar Foundation Research Review Panel)
• Research Regular Monitoring

a) Qatar Science Leadership Program :

• This is a challenging trainee program for recent science graduates, either holding a fresh Bachelors, Masters degree or Doctoral degrees and are willing to discover and develop their potential by embarking on a path of diverse scientific research and research administrative and research managerial environments.
  
  

• The trainee program is designed to develop the insight and skills critical for effective operations of science and research activities. It specifically focuses on meeting the needs of professionals in R&D within Education City.

b) Scientific Research Exchanges:

This serves to establish collaborative programmes with hosting institutions for junior scientists to visit and receive training. The purpose is to acquire research skills and expertise in niche areas of research which are not available locally.

a) New Multidisciplinary Applied Research Building :

New Research Facilities and Laboratories to accommodate for the growing needs and expansions of the research portfolio.

a) Qatar Foundation Distinguished Lectures Series :

The Qatar Foundation Distinguished Lecture Series is an ongoing event to invite Nobel Laureates and world renowned scientists from prestigious science academies to share their experiences through lectures and to provide opportunities for local scientists to approach for potential research collaboration
