Research, Innovations and Grants Policy

The BSU charter spells out the University's objectives pointing to the three major functions of teaching ,research and outreach. The University is committed to the integration of research, teaching, outreach, and Christian Ethics and Values, in order to develop creative, innovative, professionals and practitioners who know the way show the way and go the way.

Whereas, the University has made tremendous progress in teaching and service, research has lagged behind particularly in the area of grants writing, and scholarly publications, their commercialization and protection. To promote grants writing, scholarly research, and publication, and interaction between BSU and the Ugandan public, private and civil sectors, it is important to have a Research and Grants Policy in place.

This policy will encourage and guide the academia, the public, private and civil sectors to partner and to write grants and undertake research.

One of the core functions of every University is research. Universities have been known to be engines of discovery and generation of new knowledge through research. Research ultimately contributes to national development through innovations and technological advancements. There is need to create an environment that promotes research activities in BSU.
