Tafila Technical University, ever since its foundation, has been attaching utmost priority to academic research. In this vein, the Deanship of Academic Research and Graduate Studies was established in 2005 to organize, encourage and support academic research. This interest in academic research stemmed from the University strong conviction that objective scientific research is the basis for the development of knowledge at all levels.

The Deanship of Academic Research and Graduate Studies is entrusted with a number of tasks and duties, the most prominent of which are funding and supporting research projects conducted by the University faculty members and employees. In this respect, priority of funding is given to research projects that serve development purposes in Jordan. The Council of Academic Research is responsible for accomplishing these goals. Other main functions and objectives include publishing manuscripts and books; both authored and translated in various fields of knowledge.

The Deanship also provides PhD scholarships at the most prestigious American universities in many disciplines mainly in engineering and science.
