It oversees the 20 NUS university-level research institutes and centres and 3 Research Centres of Excellence. Other activities include:

• Setting policies for research, including agreements with government agencies, industry, private corporations, and foundations
• Overseeing the allocation of strategic research funds
• Working to expand research funding for the University, including developing fruitful relationships with government funding agencies and industry
• Maintaining , the NUS Research Integrity Code and overseeing the NUS Institutional Review Board (IRB) and NUS Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee (IACUC)
• Encouraging research interactions with leading organisations in Singapore and overseas, through such mechanisms as IARU and GEM4
  

The ODPRT aims to support researchers in every way possible.  Direct feedback from faculty to the DPRT on research matters is welcome.  Because graduate education by research is inextricably linked with the research mission, ODPRT also oversees the NUS Graduate School for Integrative Sciences and Engineering (NGS).
