Conducting Research

Research is conducted by a team or groups led by the project director.

Project Director's Responsibility

  • Submit a research proposal after forming own research team.
  • Once adopted, the director takes responsibility for the entire project throughout the research period, including budget and expenditure control, progress management and the use of the project's output.
  • The director is expected to take every opportunity to publish scientific papers and present the research result at academic conferences. He/she also is required to take part in workshops and symposiums held by JST.

Research Team

  • The size of a team is up to the director but in most cases somewhere between 5 and 20.
  • The director may invite members who belong to other institutes, universities or organizations as joint researchers, when he/she considers the participation of such members are indispensable for achieving the research objectives.
