Workshop on the Application Document for KAKENHI (for UTokyo Members)
We would like to announce the upcoming event, “Workshop on the Research Proposal Document for Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (Application Document for KAKENHI)” intended for UTokyo faculty/staff members.
The past workshops on the application document for JSPS Research Fellows, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science were held as the programs for alumni of “The University of Tokyo Future Faculty Program (UTokyo FFP),” and have been highly appreciated.
UTokyo FFP: https://utokyofd.com/en/ffp/about/
Reports of past workshops: https://utokyofd.com/en/information/post-11598/
Therefore, we decided to hold a “Workshop on the Research Proposal Document for Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (Application Document of KAKENHI)” intended for UTokyo faculty/staff members. This time, we focus on two categories: “Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research” and “Early-Career Scientists.”
We call for applications of the following types of participants. We look forward to your application.
-Those who would like to create the application document for KAKENHI (Mentees)
-Those who have had their research project adopted before and are willing to support the mentees (Mentors)
Please refer to the following for more details on the workshop.
◆ Overview
No matter how excellent the research may be, it wouldn’t be appreciated by the KAKENHI referees if they cannot realize its excellency.
This workshop is for examining whether the research question you have is described appropriately in the application document. (Please note that the workshop is not for the purpose of discussing the pros and cons of the research question itself.) It is for sharing information with each other and receiving feedback from those who have had their research adopted before to figure out how to make yourself understood on the document.
◆ Date/Time/Venue (Details of the venue are to be announced.)
Part 1: Sunday, September 30th, 2018, 14:00–17:00
Workshop on the Application Document for KAKENHI @Hongo Campus
Part 2: Sunday, October 7th, 2018 14:00–17:00
Workshop on the Application Document for KAKENHI @Hongo Campus
(Both days have the same program. You can join both or either of them.)
◆ Advantages to joining the workshop as a mentor
You can share the findings in creating the application documents with other mentors.
The exchange is expected to be helpful to your future application for a research grant.
◆ Workshop Schedule (Both days have the same schedule.)
14:00–14:15 Introduction
Self-introduction of participants; Briefing of today’s schedule
14:15–15:20 Review of an example of an application document
Participants will identify the points of creating application documents by thoroughly reading an example of an application document created by an instructor and having a discussion on what they should be careful about.
15:20–15:30 Break
15:30–17:00 Peer review of application documents
Participants will pair up, read their partner’s application documents, and exchange feedback.
The combination of mentees will be decided by whether they have had their research adopted before or not (e.g., those who have will pair up with those who have, and those who never have will pair up with those who never have). (For the latter combination, we will assign mentors as much as possible.)
