The data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify policy directions, research priority areas, and their implications for the development of Islamic higher education. The findings reveal that the PTKI National Research Agenda 2025–2029 is designed to strengthen an innovative, collaborative, and problem-solving-oriented research ecosystem.

The implementation of this policy has the potential to enhance the quality of the tri dharma of higher education, strengthen the academic competitiveness of PTKI, and promote the contribution of Islamic higher education to national development. Therefore, synergy among the government, higher education institutions, researchers, and other stakeholders is essential for the successful implementation of the PTKI National Research Agenda 2025–2029.]]>
