Request to Applicants
Starting in the 2014A round, applicants will be asked in the Proposal Submission System to indicate if their research proposal has affinity with the Japanese national priority research areas as identified in the Elements Strategy Initiative .
Similarly, applicants will be asked if the proposed research includes, or is likely to include in the future, the Complementary Use of other major research facilities such as, but not limited to, synchrotron radiation sources (SPring-8, PF etc.), the "K" next generation supercomputer, or other quantum beam facilities.
If either of the above apply to your proposal, please indicate by marking the relevant checkbox and adding a brief description as requested.
We thank-you for your cooperation and assistance in this regard.
