The University Research Administration Office was established to implement support operations for researchers for the purpose of strengthening the research capacity of the whole university.

In the University Research Administration Office, research administrators (URAs) who act as intermediaries of research between NCU and external organizations are established as specially-appointed faculty members. Under the direction of the Office Director (Trustee in charge of research and international affairs) and the Deputy Office Director, the URAs provide university-wide support for research management, such as investigating and analyzing research information, drafting research strategy plans, and assisting in the acquisition of large-scale funds for research.
