Research Subsidy
The Research Support Subsidy endeavours to support the research activities of APU graduate students. It is expected that graduate students who make use of this subsidy will use their research findings to produce an academic paper that is not only worthy of a graduate degree but also academically relevant and recognized on an international level.
Research Ethics and Compliance Training
APU offers training programs on Research Ethics and Compliance to support the responsible and ethical conduct of
research and to ensure adherence to relevant rules and regulations. All Doctoral students, and Master’s
students receiving research funds are required to take the Research Ethics and Compliance Training programs before
beginning research.

Faculty Database
APU has developed a faculty database that allows APU faculty to publicize their research activities within Japan and
across the world. Making our latest research results and research projects public is useful for developing
partnerships with industry, promoting human resource exchange, and advancing collaborative research projects.
The contents of the Faculty Database are not only displayed on APU’s homepage, but also made available to the
Japan Science and Technology Agency’s (JST) researchmap.

Off-campus Activities for an Extended Period
