• Researcher Career Support Program: This program provides research support assistants either to the researcher concerned or to the laboratory to which the researcher belongs, on a case-by-case basis, when research activities are adversely affected by childbirth, childcare, medical treatment for illness or injury, caregiving responsibilities, or administrative and management duties.
• Spousal Employment Support Program: When a faculty member’s partner is a researcher and the couple is living separately, this program enables the partner to be employed by the university as a researcher for a certain period so that they may continue their research activities.
• Childcare Facilities: The university operates two childcare facilities: “Emika Kids” (Johoku Campus) and “AiAi Kids” (childcare facility attached to the University Hospital on the Shigenobu Campus). “Ai-Ai Kids” also provides sick-child care services.
