A survey was held from July to August 2021 to ascertain the actual requirements of Japanese Institutional Research (IR) curriculum. The results of the survey revealed the course desired by the people who have been engaged in IR. They can be divided into two groups: those who have participated in a course at least once and those who have never participated in any course. Afterward, the detailed analysis revealed that the requirements for the above groups were different. In this paper, the author describes the facts in detail.
