Application Procedures
Starting from the current call for proposals, JSPS has decided to newly take the period of raising preschooler(s) into consideration, in addition to the period of maternity or childcare leave, under the application requirements of Grant-in-Aid for Research Activity Start-up. This change is intended to create an environment that enables early-career or child-raising researchers to more actively return to or participate in research activities. As such, “preschooler(s)” refer to their “child(ren).” The definition of “child(ren)” is based on the interpretation of the Civil Code and means the child(ren) of applicants themselves (including their natural child(ren), child(ren) out of wedlock, and adopted children).
