    ANNUAL RESEARCH REPORT HRH King Salamn bin Abdulazizi AlSaud Custodian of the Htow holy Mosques HRH Prince Mohammad bin Salamn AlSaud Deputy crown Prince second Deputy Prime Minister The Minister Scientific research is an important tool to improve human life. Investment in health research has positive Message impact in five areas; advancing knowledge, building capacity, informing decision making, improving Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah health, health system outcomes and contributing to the economy. Saudi Arabia is trying to increase the level of research cooperation over all institutions belonged to either governmental or non-governmental sector, and assign it as a long-term aim due to the necessity to consider public expectations and public engagement. Yet, collaboration between them through data, best practice and resource sharing is uncommon. This is of particular importance because of the increasing recognition that inter-institutional and inter-disciplinary research collaboration is essential to fully address complex health and healthcare issues. 10 11 The General Directorate of Research and studies (GDRS) undertook the responsibility to deal with the former fragmented and poorly coordinated MOH research system. Consequently, it adopted a national strategy and implementation roadmap to upgrade research infrastructure redesign the health research landscape across MOH and develop a research support framework. It announced launching a regional research departments operational plan, defined a package of relevant initiatives and identified & implemented a set of projects. GDRS accomplished the following programs : Covering health affairs directorates Unifying their organizational all over the Kingdom with structure. Institutional Review Boards (IRBs).

While the solar resource in Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Peninsula was believed to be significant based on limited past data, understanding the spatial and temporal variability requires significantly more data and analysis in order to optimize planning and siting solar energy power plants. This paper summarizes the analysis of the first year of broadband solar resource measurements from a new monitoring network in Saudi Arabia developed by the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (K.A.CARE). The analysis used twelve months (October 2013–September 2014) of data from 30 stations distributed across the country based on one-minute measurements of Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI), Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), and related meteorological parameters. Network design, implementation, and data quality assurance are described to document the network extent and quality.
