A number of Extramural Research studentships and numerous Research Projects of the ICMR in collaboration with CSMMU marked the commencement of organized research activities in this college. Research Cell was started under the direct supervision of Director Academics seven years back and saw the beginning organized of Research activities in this college, with a number of Extramural Research studentships & a number of Research Projects of ICMR in collaboration with CSMMU.
The Research activities of the college were later recognized by ICMR, DST & CSIR in 2010 & a SIRO certificate was awarded for 3 years in 2010-2012, WHICH HAS NOW BEEN RENEWED TILL 2015.
KMCMC&H has a completely functional Research Cell that is run by a few faculty members, as well as a monitoring group with a Chairman and a Director of Research. This is supervised by a 13-member Institutional Ethics Committee, established in accordance with the ICMR's patterns and guidelines and is led by a Chairman (faculty & scientist from outside the college).
A committee dedicated to animal ethics has also been established. Its members are academicians from various fields.
Additionally, a "Institutional Committee for Stem Cell Research & Therapeutics" has also been established.
The Research Cell promotes and coordinates all academic and research efforts of the College. A clinical meeting is conducted on the first Thursday of every month, during which the clinical departments share at least one case of academic and clinical interest. Every third Thursday of the month, faculty members share a summary of research papers submitted by them at a national or international conference, or a summary of their finished research project.
The management has introduced "Intramural Research Grants" in an effort to foster a culture of research among the faculty and for their capacity building in order to acquire extramural grants.
A total of 14 Intramural UG STS (Short Term Studentship) Research projects for undergraduate MBBS students as well as 4 projects for post-graduate students were begun as an additional special initiative. Projects began their third cycle in 2012-2013, and their fourth cycle in 2014. Eleven STS-PG (Post Graduates) projects were authorized in 2013. In 2014, the school received ICMR UG-STS sanction for seven projects, and four of those projects are currently underway.
Capacity Building Research Methodology Training Workshops are regularly organized to familiarise the PGs and Junior staff with research methodology.
All finished projects have a specific Registration number, a summary in the Research Cell, and a complete research file. A total of 31 projects have been finished and presented to the expert committee thus far. 2013 saw the publication of 130 articles in referred journals by faculty from various departments.
