1. Recruiting Fellows to participate in the program

Through various means, such as JSPS's newsletter ("JSPS Quarterly") and announcements at orientations for new Fellows, JSPS regularly invites Fellows to participate in the Science Dialogue Program.

2. Soliciting high schools to participate in the program

JSPS regularly invites high schools to participate in the program, especially those that place emphasis on science or English language education, such as "Super Science High Schools (SSH)" or "Super English Language High Schools (SELHi)".

3. Matching

From among the Fellows who volunteer to participate in the program, JSPS matches them with high schools based on the desired lecture subject and time frame of the school faculties and geographic considerations.

4. Preparations

When the school faculty and the Fellow agree to the match up, they discuss and decide among themselves the details of lecture activity.

As the students' English proficiency is apt to be weak, it is important to do the following things in advance.

• Decide upon the content of the lecture (e.g., describing the Fellow's own research, telling why s/he decided to become a researcher, introducing his/her home country)
• Ascertain the students' level of English proficiency
• Ascertain the students' level of technical knowledge regarding the subject
• Prepare an abstract and list of key words for the students to study in advance of the lecture

5. Financial support

JSPS will provide participating Fellows with the following financial support:

• Travel costs to and from the high school (also provided to host/colleague who accompanies the Fellow)
• Costs incurred in preparing lecture materials (e.g., consumable supplies, printing) up to ¥50,000.

Note:	As program participation is on a volunteer basis, JSPS does not provide Fellows or their accompanying Japanese researchers with an honorarium. If, however, such remuneration is offered by the hosting high school, they may accept it.
