Step Two:

​Criteria for the First Meeting Before Registering a Research Group

Before registering the research group, the Principal Investigator (PI) must send an email to Dr. Adam Tawfiq Amawi, the Assistant Dean for Research Collaboration (a.amawi@ju.edu.jo​), and Diretor of Research planning and Development Reham Dannoun at (r.dannoun@ju.edu.jo) with the following information:

1. Proposed Name of the Group

2. Research Interests of the Group

3. Principal Investigator’s Contact Information (College, Phone, Email)

A meeting will then be scheduled with the Research Group Accreditation Committee.

This meeting will involve the PI discussing the research line of the group.

General Guidelines to Prepare for the Meeting:

What the Principal Investigator Should Prepare for the Meeting to Approve the Name and Research Line of the Group

1. Research Group Name

• Choose a name that accurately reflects the scientific identity of the group.

• Ensure the name is:

  • Not too general nor too narrow and does not overlap with sister research groups.

  • Reflects the primary research area or problem the group aims to address.

  • Attractive for international classification or presentation purposes.

• Be prepared to explain why the name was chosen and how it aligns with the group's vision.

2. Research Area of the Group

• Provide a clear description of the research area, such as:

  • "STEM Education in Schools"

  • "Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare"

  • "Food Security in Dry Areas"

• Clarify the multidisciplinary specializations that fall under the group's line of research.

• Link the research area to national, regional, or global goals (such as the Sustainable Development Goals).

3. Required Diversity of Specializations

• Identify the specializations needed for the research field to be effective and integrated (e.g., technology, education, psychology, etc.).

• Explain why this diversity is essential to the success of the group.

4. Research Team Members

• Prepare a preliminary list of proposed members along with their research backgrounds.

• Highlight how their specializations and skills contribute to the overall integration of the group’s goals.

5. Current or Potential Partners

• Clarify whether there are:

  • Internal partnerships with other colleges or research centers within the university.

  • External partnerships with universities, research institutions, organizations, or the private sector. Provide specific examples of potential partners, if any.​
