Structured Research Process:
All research projects at our institution begin with a detailed review process to ensure both ethical soundness and scientific merit. Proposals from students and staff are submitted to the Scientific Research Committee (SRC), which conducts review meetings twice a year. These proposals undergo a thorough evaluation based on clearly defined criteria, such as the research question, objectives, methodology, and feasibility. Following this internal review, the proposals are presented to an expert panel and eventually sent to the Institutional Ethical Committee for final approval. This ensures that every study conducted meets the highest standards of ethical responsibility and scientific integrity.
Showcasing Research:
To celebrate and showcase the innovative research carried out by students and staff, we organize the Scientific Research Committee (SRC) event annually. This platform allows participants to present their findings and engage in scholarly discussions with peers and faculty. In addition, our flagship event, SCIFI, is held each year, where students demonstrate their work through research papers, posters, and table clinics. These events provide a fertile ground for knowledge exchange and help students and staff alike to refine their research and presentation skills.
State-of-the-Art Research Facilities:
At the core of our research ecosystem is our dedicated research laboratory, equipped with modern and sophisticated instruments designed to support a wide range of scientific inquiries. Our lab provides students and faculty with the tools they need to execute cutting-edge research. Moreover, our institution actively collaborates with other academic bodies, such as Bharati’s Engineering College, Pharmacy College, and IRSHA (Interactive Research School for Health Affairs), to further expand the scope of research and facilitate access to additional expertise and technology.
Funding and Support:
Recognizing that groundbreaking research requires not only ideas but also financial backing, we offer funding opportunities to both students and staff for their projects. This financial support underscores the institution's commitment to fostering an innovative research environment. Whether it is an undergraduate exploring a novel concept or a faculty member working on interdisciplinary projects, we ensure that funding is available to bring their ideas to life.
Collaborative and Interdisciplinary Projects:
Research at Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental College and Hospital extends beyond the boundaries of dentistry, embracing a multidisciplinary approach. Our faculty and postgraduate students engage in projects that explore diverse topics such as the efficacy of herbal extracts in treating periodontal diseases, advancements in sterilization methods, and the microbiology of dental pathogens. These interdisciplinary collaborations, often involving other academic departments and research institutes, enable our institution to make a broader impact in the field of health sciences.
The research ecosystem at Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental College and Hospital, Navi Mumbai, is one of vibrancy, collaboration, and early student engagement. Our structured approach, coupled with strong institutional support, ensures that students and faculty have the tools, resources, and opportunities needed to contribute meaningful insights to dental and medical sciences. As we continue to expand our research endeavors, we remain committed to nurturing the next generation of innovators and scholars, fostering a community where curiosity thrives and scientific exploration knows no bounds.
