INDUSTRY–ACADEMIA COLLABORATIVE R&D PROGRAMS
Development of Advanced Measurement and Analysis Systems
Development of technology and systems for advanced measurement and analysis that will bolster the infrastructure for creative and original R&D
Objectives
To build the infrastructure that will support creative and original R&D activities—essential to the generation of innovation—JST is promoting the development of systems and technology for advanced measurement and analysis.
Overview
In the field of measurement and analysis systems, JST calls for proposals in the following four programs.
- Technology Development Program for Advanced Measurement and Analysis (Program-T)
This program seeks to develop novel and creative technologies for advanced measurement and analysis so as to rapidly improve the performance of such systems. - System Development Program for Advanced Measurement and Analysis (Program-S)
This program seeks to develop systems needed for advanced measurement and analysis in frontier research areas. It assembles development teams that closely interface with industry, academia and government; operates under an authoritative team leader; and carries out R&D ranging from enabling technologies to applied development and prototyping. - Software Development Program for Advanced Measurement and Analysis (Program-SW)
This program seeks to develop application, database and platform software for the purpose of promoting the practical application and adoption of advanced measurement and analysis prototype systems. - Prototype Validation / Practical Realization Program for Advanced Measurement and Analysis (Program-P)
This program seeks to develop prototypes up to the practical realization stage by verifying, improving, optimizing or generalizing the prototype. It assembles development teams that closely interface with industry, academia and government; operates under an authoritative team leader drawn from industry; and includes the participation of world-leading users of measurement and analysis systems in the development team.
Number of projects approved (FY2011)
Program-T: 8 Program-SW: 1
