Research is orientated towards answering specific questions about anomalous phenomena (rather than investigating spontaneous cases). For instance, does anything leave the body of people experiencing OOBEs; are haunted locations magnetically remarkable; are orbs really out-of-focus dust?

The research department initiates, promotes and funds research activity in the Association.

The research department is run by the National Research Co-ordinator with the help of a research committee.
