Background
The University of Bosaso Research Department is an integral part of the institution, partially independent in its administrative activities. It enhances departmental growth and sustainability by fostering creativity and innovation. Acting as a catalyst for development, it introduces well-planned strategies aimed at achieving substantial breakthroughs.

Rationale
The department coordinates research through teams and committees under the guidance of the UOB Research team. It sets policies, guidelines, and processes, ensuring ethical compliance, establishing partnerships, and developing a funding strategy. The department also trains academic staff and students in research methods, supervises theses, produces scholarly publications, and organizes conferences and seminars.
