Islamic Propagation Office of Qom Seminary in Isfahan Branch started its research activities in 2003 in the form of research deputyship. With the development of research activities and the accumulation of nearly a decade of organizational knowledge and experience in this path, and with the shift in the approach of the Islamic Propagation Office from function-centric to problem-centric, this department transformed into the Research Center for Theology and Family.
