The “FDJoint Training Program – Thematic Training” targets new faculty, teachers who wish to relearn the basics of FD, those interested in FD, and staff working in FD-related departments. It covers lesson design, lesson practice, use of AI tools in class management, first-year education, and how to secure research funding. This is a small-group training program aimed at acquiring skills and knowledge. In fiscal year 2026, we will hold a total of four sessions.
The first session will be held under the theme “Basics and Practice of Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Applications ~ Key Points for Selection from Perspectives and Examples from Screening Perspectives and Examples ~” as outlined below.
Session 1: Basics and Practice of Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Applications ~ Key Points for Selection from Perspectives and Practical Examples ~
We will offer an introductory course for those who feel they want to try applying for Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research and feel they want to try it out or have applied several times but still feel unsure, allowing you to learn systematically from the basics. This program is open not only to graduate students and young researchers but also to those who want to reorganize the basics based on their application experience. This project is the first part of a two-part series, focusing on the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Grants-in-Aid for Young Researchers, C, Sprouts, etc.), and clearly organizes the basic knowledge required for applications, including the basic system mechanism, screening flow, and key points for evaluation criteria. For graduate students, this course teaches the basic concepts and writing methods that are also relevant to preparing applications for JSPS Research Fellows.
We welcome Mr. Yoshinori Sato from the social sciences field and Mr. Tetsuro Mimura from the natural sciences field as lecturers, who will approach Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research applications from different perspectives across different fields. There are many common principles and key points to keep in mind when preparing application forms, and practical tips can be gained from each lecture. Mr. Sato will share perspectives and preparation methods based on his experience as a judge, while Mr. Mimura will share ideas and real-life examples based on his experience with acceptance and rejection.
We hope this will serve as an opportunity to take the “first step” of applying for the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research with peace of mind and connect it to the next application.
