Applicants must find their own host research institution and host researcher by themselves before applying. It is highly recommended to establish close contact with a prospective host researcher and institution in advance.
Application Period (From applying organizations to JSPS)
- DC (FY2027)
- PD (FY2027)

・Deadline for the submission of the application documents from the applicant to the applying organization varies, depending on the institution.
・Please make sure to confirm the deadline with the applying organization in advance.
Screening Process
A fair and transparent screening process is carried out by JSPS’s Screening Committee for Young Researcher Fellowships, comprising frontline Japanese researchers.
(i) That the applicant provides the background leading to the establishment of the research theme, and that the approach is significant; that the method of research is unique, and that the future prospects of the research project are described.
(ii) That the applicant has great potentials to become an outstanding researcher who will shoulder the future of science.
(iii) [Only for PD applicants] That the applicant is presumed to be highly motivated to take on the challenge of further enhancing their research capabilities in a new environment, rather than just continuing a series of research they conducted in the doctoral course.
(iv) [Only for PD applicants] Except for unavoidable circumstances, applicants are not awarded the fellowships if they choose (1) the institution at which they obtained the doctoral degree as their host institution and (2) their academic advisor in the doctoral course as their host researcher.

- JSPS has a set of requirements for research funding support other than the monthly stipends and Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows that Fellows may receive during their fellowship tenure. Fellows are not allowed to receive certain funds, including those provided by the national government for the purpose of supporting living expenses, and student loans from the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO), during their fellowship tenure.
