Research Institutes, Centres and Units Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) offers excellent opportunities for research, innovation and education to both local and foreign undergraduates and post-graduates. The University’s core competencies remain unchanged in its 40 years of establishment: teaching, research and consultancies, which relate directly to the advancement of human resource development and capacity building, knowledge and industrial competitiveness. USM, which was granted the APEX status in 2008 has now made it a priority to steer its research capabilities towards reaching out and impacting the community. Research at USM aims to touch base with the need of the poor and vulnerable. Above and beyond that, the University wants to be at the forefront of providing local solutions for global problems. At present, USM continues to address a wider range of problems in order to benefit society at large, besides striving to exercise open mindedness in its research work at the theoretical level. The University has been actively developing broad-based research infrastructure involving the acquisition of a wide range of equipment, laboratory facilities and library holdings. It has also established new research institutes, centres and units, which are mostly located at USM’s rapidly developing Science and Arts Innovation Space, or better known as sains@usm. At the core of these research entities is one of academic excellence and through these entities, research talent and expertise are mobilised from different disciplines and segments of the University in line with its efforts in promoting trans-disciplinary research. Research at USM is managed by its Research Management and Creativity Office (RCMO), in charge of overseeing matters pertaining to research information, grants, university facilities, equipment and human resources. The office was set up to be the bridge between USM researchers, grants financiers and the industry. There is also an Innovation Office, tasked with bringing the products, innovations, services and knowledge created by its researchers to the marketplace and end-users in an efficient manner. USM’s research strengths are split into four categories, namely in the fields of Science, Medical Health, Engineering and Arts. The 25 Schools spread out on three campuses each have its own niche area of research. Its research strengths
