Research administration, or tech school as it is more commonly known is a modifier which will determine what kind of research bonuses/penalties you get to the five major technology categories. You can find your current administration type at the top left corner of the technology window. Each administration type gives a research bonus to one or more tech categories while also giving a penalty to one or more other categories(the only exception being Traditional Academia which gives neither bonuses nor penalties). You may change your Research Administration type through decisions, which may become available at times.
You will always have to go through Traditional Academia when changing administration types. That is to say, you cannot for example change from Business Schools & Tycoon Capitalism directly into Military-Industrial Complex. You have to change into Traditional Academia in between them. Also, whenever you change your administration type you will get the academic confusion modifier which lasts for 10 years(during which you cannot change your administration type) and gives a tiny penalty to research points and prestige. This heavily restricts how often a country can change its administration type. Also, uncivilized countries cannot change their administration type until they become civilized.
Each tech school(except Traditional Academia) also gives unciv reform bonuses. These will not affect your country but instead if you as a great power sphere an uncivilized country, that country would then get the reform bonuses from your tech school making their reforms cheaper and so speeding up their westernization. Note that you cannot see the unciv reform bonuses in game by hovering over the tech school. You will only see them when playing as an unciv country in the reform screen(assuming a great power has sphered you).

Decision: Military-Industrial Complex
Ingame description: Cooperation between private industrialists and the military, on the issues of national defense and war policy, have led to the development of a particularly important web of connections, personal ties and acquaintances, with just an ever so slight hint of corruption, that can best be described as a Military-Industrial Complex. By furthering the goals and ambitions of these informal networks within our academia, we can boost industrial and military research, at the expense of navy and culture.

Ingame description: It has been said that the best way to get ahead in our country is to go via the naval schools. Much of our country's military and political elites have been educated navy men, or have served in the merchant marine. The navy's importance for a seafaring country like our own cannot be underestimated, and by promoting these groups and backgrounds politically, we can ensure that our naval technology will develop at an increased rate, at the expense, however, of other fields of research.

Decision: Tycoon Capitalism & Business Schools
Ingame description: Our country has under the past years come increasingly under the sway of select cliques of people who have all been educated at the same, or similar, elite business schools and companies.

This change will, however, come at the expense of other fields of research.

游戏内文本: A cultural and ideological avantgarde within our country has, during the past years, been undertaking a long march through our academic institutions. By steadily working their way up the rungs of the academic ladder, these radical new ideologues are now in a position to completely subvert our academic institutions to better suit their ideological agenda. By supporting their cause, we can increase the speed of our cultural research, to the detriment, however, of other spheres of intellectual progress.
