Office of Research and Development was created with the aim of developing NTUNHS into a sophisticated research-oriented university. The Office is responsible for organizing cooperative programs with local industries and overseas academic institutions. In addition to setting the blueprint for NTUNHS’s future, the Office also assists faculty and students in securing external sources of funding for academic research projects. Members of the Office actively extend relationships with local and foreign academic institutions to bring in more practical training and academic exchange opportunities and enhance NTUNHS’s competitiveness via the sharing of resources.
