Overview

In this program, R&D budgets and periods will be flexibly set according to the particulars of proposals from the perspective of flexible and dynamic funding according to the characteristics of R&D topics, social needs and other factors. In order to achieve this, in addition to the usual R&D Projects, Feasibility Studies* framework is also established to undertake, for example, (1) enhancement of R&D plans by intensively studying the details of ELSI to be addressed and clarifying the issues, and (2) building comprehensive R&D implementation structures by searching for and collaborating with the necessary research fields and stakeholders.

*Feasibility Studies is not independent investigation activities and the like, but it is expected to lead to the proposal and implementation of R&D projects under the Program in the future. The framework has been planned to address R&D design and serve as a complement to structures necessary to achieve this. Accordingly, in principle, submitting a proposal to the next call for proposals of the Program is a condition. In such a case, the application is handled in the same way as other proposals; no priority is given.
