FY2015 Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (Infectious Diseases Control field)
The application for FY2015 Research Proposals (Infectious Diseases Control field) has been closed. A "Declaration of Research Integrity" form or a certificate confirming completion of a training program in research ethics should be submitted by Dec. 21.
The interview schedule is as below:
Interview Date
Research Field
Infectious Diseases Control
"Research Area: Research on measures to address infectious diseases control attuned to the needs of developing countries"
Interview Date
March 6th (Fri), 2015
Research proposals in the Infectious Diseases Control field are invited from October 21, 2014 (Tue) to November 21, 2014 (Fri) at 12:00 noon (Japan time).
In the Infectious Diseases Control field, after AMED - the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development - is launched in FY2015, AMED is supposed to take over the role of JST described in this application guideline. However, the procedure between developing countries and Japan remains the same as in earlier years. Note that any ODA applications in the Infectious Diseases Control field made to the Japanese government by partner countries are subject to the same deadline (12:00 noon (Japan time) on Monday October 27, 2014) as applications in the other fields. (This point was noted in the application guideline for the other fields).
Based on the needs of developing countries, JST and JICA cooperate to promote international joint research targeting global issues*1 with an objective of future utilization of research outcomes*2. Implemented through collaboration with Official Development Assistance (ODA), the aim of the program is to acquire new knowledge and technology that lead to the resolution of global issues and the advance of science and technology, and through this process, to create innovations. International joint research under this program also aims to enhance the research and development capabilities of developing countries, and helps create sustainable research systems able to address and resolve issues.
*1Global issues: Issues that are difficult to resolve by a single country or region acting on its own and that need to be handled by the international community as a whole.
*2 Utilization of research outcomes: The research projects should lead to future social and economic benefits, achieved by using newly obtained technology and knowledge to enhance government services or to develop products that can be deployed in the market.
Proposals for FY2015 are invited in the following research areas; Environment/Energy (2 areas), Bioresources (1 area), Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (1 area) [Application period for these four areas is from September 11, 2014 to October 27, 2014.] and Infectious Diseases Control (1 area). This page provides information on the application for the Infectious Diseases Control field.
Important Notes：
This invitation for research proposals is for proposals that will be implemented under the government's FY2015 budget, but submitted and selected before the budget is finalized. Moreover, the SATREPS program is linked with the official development assistance (ODA) program, and requires time for coordination with institutions in the counterpart country. For these reasons, in order to start the research projects as soon as possible, the process needs to start before the budget is approved. In consequence, when the budget is finally approved, details and amounts may change, which could potentially affect the fields of research, contract research expenses, and number of projects selected. It may also be necessary to request additional documentation following budget approval.
About Application
1. Application Period for Research Proposals
From Oct. 21st, 2014 (Tue) to Nov. 21st (Fri) at 12:00 noon (Japan Time)
2. How to apply
FY2015 Research Proposals must be submitted via e-Rad, the Cross-ministerial R&D Management System. To use e-Rad, researchers who are affiliated with a research institution need to check that their institution has been registered on e-Rad, and that the researcher's information has also been registered on e-Rad by the institution's administrative contact. Researchers who are not affiliated with a research institution need to register their researcher information on e-Rad in advance.
The Cross-Ministerial Research and Development Management System3. Submission of request for ODA technical cooperation
The SATREPS (Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development) program is linked with ODA projects. In addition to submitting a research proposal to JST, it is necessary to liaise sufficiently with the researchers in the other country on the details of the joint research, and is also necessary that the counterpart research institute submits an official request for ODA technical cooperation to MOFA via the ministry or agency in the recipient country responsible for ODA and the local Japanese embassy. The deadline for submitting the official request for ODA technical cooperation is also 12:00 noon (Japan time) on Monday October 27, 2014.
In the Infectious Diseases Control field, after AMED - the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development - is launched in FY2015, AMED is supposed to take over the role of JST described in this application guideline.
