The strategic urgency of research management in Islamic higher education often faces structural and cultural challenges that impede academic productivity and the integration of scientific values. This study aims to examine strategies for strengthening the research culture at STAI Ali bin Abi Thalib Surabaya through a management approach based on the POAC functions (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling). A descriptive qualitative method was employed by conducting in-depth interviews with three key informants who play strategic roles in the campus research management. The data were analyzed by focusing on the current condition of research management, supporting and inhibiting factors, as well as strategies to strengthen research culture. The findings indicate that research management has been directed through the establishment of roadmaps and LPPM policies, although lecturers’ writing culture still requires improvement. Supporting factors include funding, training, and publication facilities, while obstacles are found in limited literacy, time constraints, and motivation. Effective strategies consist of strengthening the role of LPPM, providing continuous mentoring, and leadership role-modeling in research and publication. In conclusion, strengthening the research culture requires synergy between structural support, cultural development, and consistent implementation of management functions.
