Promotion, Partnership, Policy formation, Performance and Publication. These objectives are implemented through the Research council and the Research and Funding Coordination Council.Research assistance is provided to staff, post graduate and under graduate students. Policy formulations are made and appraised on a yearly basis at the start of the academic year. Orientation and training programs on research basics, scientific writing, research grants and biostatistics are regularly conducted on an annual basis. The international collaborations have helped staff and students gain international exposure and provide an opportunity to work alongside the research greats. Research cell extends assistance to the researcher until the final stage of publication or patent.

Aavishkaar
India has about 8% of the world’s biodiversity and 2% of the earth’s surface area, making it one of the 12 mega diversity centers of the world. Coorg lies in the Western Ghats, one of the 8 biodiversity hotspots identified by the United Nations. This uniquely diverse ecosystem is in itself a platform for research and development. The CIDS has established Aavishkar to enable our researchers unlock Nature’s secrets.This research laboratory is dedicated to phytochemicals, integration of phytochemicals with dental materials and on alternative therapies for lifestyle diseases. Current studies on oral hygiene have shown that herbal medicines are more effective and their use minimize the over dose of synthetic chemicals. Plants produce secondary metabolites for their protection against pathogens. These phytochemicals exhibit a wide range of biological activities and are generally considered safe. The institution has appointed qualified and dedicated team of professionals to oversee and operate the research program.
IRB- INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD
The Coorg Institute of Dental Sciences is committed to ensuring good research practices. The Institutional review board ensures that all research, particularly involving human subjects is carried out in a safe environment abiding by all the ethical rules that are applied nationally and internationally.
Institutional Review Board guides the institutional researchers that the clinical trials is conducted and data generated is documented/ reported in compliance with study protocol and clinical practice, guidelines issued by Indian Council of Medical research and Central drug standard control organization.
Institutional standard operating procedures have been developed and a working manual has been prepared in order to protect the interests of subjects/participants to research and researchers. It is mandatory that all personnel at CIDS, the graduate, post graduate and the faculty researchers ensure that these guidelines are understood and followed.
