    Overview

    A key part of the Al Qasimi Foundation’s mission is to conduct and promote high-quality research that will help inform policymakers in Ras Al Khaimah, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and broader Gulf region. The Foundation conducts both in-house research and supports external researchers. To this end, the Foundation seeks to build a community of international and locally-based scholars whose research focuses on policy issues relevant to Ras Al Khaimah and the UAE and to promote collaboration among highly recognized international universities and the UAE's public sector. In addition, the Al Qasimi Foundation is committed to promoting evidence-based decision making by connecting policymakers with researchers. As a result, most research undertaken by the Al Qasimi Foundation is applied in nature.

    Priorities

    The Al Qasimi Foundation has three research priority areas that serve as the primary guide for all research activities sponsored or directly undertaken by the Foundation:

    • Education Quality and Impact
    • Community Development
    • Health & Well-Being

    Although these three areas form the central focus of the Al Qasimi Foundation’s research activities, the organization still values and provides for research that may fall beyond its scope. In such instances, the research must demonstrate clear relevance to policy issues and concerns facing the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah and the broader UAE.
