Application Guidelines and Forms (for Japan-side PIs)

How to Apply (for Japan-side PIs)

Please complete the joint application forms above and submit them via e-Rad (The Cross-ministerial R&D Management System). This system is the designated platform for Japan-side PIs to submit their forms.

• Both applicants, Japan-side and Thailand-side PIs, must prepare an identical proposal, which they must then submit to JST from the Japan-side PI and to PMU-B from Thailand-side PI, respectively.
• Japan-side PI must also submit another Japanese application form (appendix for Japan-side PIs)..
• Both PIs must ensure no differences in the content of the proposals submitted to JST and PMU-B. Submitting all required documents to both JST and PMU-B by the deadline is crucial, as failure to do so will result in the proposal not being accepted.
• Proposals only with the joint application forms above will be accepted.

Please refer to the PMU-B webpage for Thailand-side PI.

Notifications

• The "Confirmation Form (確認書 in the Japanese application form (appendix for Japan-side PIs))" must be stamped by the head of the institution. Please note that in the case of a university/college, it is the president, not the dean. There is no need to mail the original. If you omit the official seal, please follow the prescribed procedure at your institution before submitting the form.
• Japan-side PIs must have completed a research ethics training program at their institution and then declare the completion of the program to JST by the deadline of the call for proposals. Unless applicants complete a research ethics training program, their application will be deemed ineligible for funding. For details, please refer to the application guidelines (appendix for Japan-side PIs, 公募要領 別紙).
