What is a URA?

University Research Administrators (URAs) are professionals who support university research activities.
To create an environment where researchers can focus on their research, URAs support external funding acquisition, manage projects, and promote industry-academia-government collaboration. They help bring research results back to society by facilitating partnerships with companies, local governments, and research institutions.
URAs are also involved in planning the university's research strategy and driving large-scale projects. Shimane University's URAs contribute to strengthening research capabilities as a bridge between researchers and society.
