Support for Obtaining Contract Research Funding
Contract research is a system whereby university faculty members are commissioned to conduct research on a specific research topic by a company or other entity (contractor), which pays the research expenses, while the results are reported to the contractor. The Integrated URA Office performs the following acquisition supports mainly for contract research sponsored by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED).

・Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) PRIME
〇 Details of Support
The responsible URA will add comments (and make corrections, if necessary) on the research proposal (not the research content, but the textual presentation, organization, clarity, legibility of figures, etc.) and return it to the applicant.
*Not a format check. - Hearing Support
For researchers who applied for the following contract research projects and will undergo a hearing review, we provide mock hearings by other HU researchers so that the applicant can practice using the presentation materials, and review the presentation content, prepare for question-and-answer sessions, and so on.
