The AdZU URO exists in the service of research practice and production, a very significant mandate of a university. In AdZU, URO leads in the operationalization of the university’s research thrusts. URO functions in cultivating a research and publication culture in the AdZU. Specifically, URO facilitates the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the research programs, processes, and projects in AdZU. The office is animated by the Dean for Research, Research Officers, Research Staff, and Support Staff. With the newly created positions and new members, URO embarks on new ways of running the office and coordinating with different stakeholders in the university. Together with the AdZU Research Ethics Committee, and Asia Mindanaw Journal, URO is supervised by the University Research and Publication Council (URPC), of which URO is the secretariat.
