Sainsbury研究中心（簡稱SRU），以Sainsbury視覺藝術中心為基礎，是一個研究非洲藝術、太平洋地區與美國藝術的單位，提供高品質的設備與專業研究圖書館。SRU同時也提供碩士與博士學位。SRU結合人類學、藝術史、考古學與博物館學學程，聚焦這三個區域的獨特文化，特別是藝術品與物體如何被製造、使用與流通，亦即在其原初的脈絡以及博物館及展覽脈絡中如何與人關係互動。

The Sainsbury Research Unit (SRU), based in the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the University of East Anglia, is a centre for the study of the arts of Africa, the Pacific region and the Americas, providing high quality facilities and a specialist research library for its staff, postgraduates and visiting scholars. As part of the School of World Art Studies and Museology it contributes to a substantial and lively scholarly community in the Sainsbury Centre.
