CMX Young Scientists Collaborative Research Project Guideline

Aim The grant aims to promote joint and international collaborative research among young researchers, which is one of the Center for Medical Transformation’s (CMX) missions. CMX will grant developmental joint research for the Center’s future.
Research to be funded Three types of research can be funded:
  1. Collaborative research between young researchers in CMX or between young researchers in CMX and young researchers in the Graduate School (outside the Center).
    One may be a researcher in our Graduate School (outside of our Center), but we prefer young researchers who can conduct developmental research that can play a role in the future of our Center.
    Please note that collaborative research in different fields (e.g., "intractable cancer" and "drug discovery and medical devices") is encouraged regarding joint research within the Center. Although multiple applications from the same labs are acceptable, adjustments may be made at the review stage when two or more applications are submitted.
  2. Joint research between young researchers in CMX and young researchers in other departments of the University.
  3. International joint research between young researchers in CMX and young researchers in overseas research institutes.
Eligibility
  • Young researchers (excluding graduate students) under 44 years old (under 46 years old or younger in the case of those who graduated from a sixth-year university) or who have been working for less than ten years after receiving their doctoral degrees. It is preferable that either the principal investigator or co-investigator should be under 40 years old.
Expenses to be covered
  • Expenses necessary for the joint research (in principle, excluding equipment and fixtures)
    Only direct expenses are eligible, and indirect expenses are not included.
Grant About 3-4 projects will be adopted in types A to C.
  1. Annual budget of 1.5 to 2 million yen (750,000 to 1 million yen per researcher)
    *Equally distributed among Principal Investigators/Co-investigators
  2. Annual budget 500,000-2,000,000 yen (allocated only to young researchers within the Center)
  3. Annual budget of 1 to 2 million yen (allocated only to young researchers in the Center)
  • type A: When applying as a continuation or development of a research proposal adopted in the previous year by the same joint research organization, the maximum amount is 3,000,000 yen.
  • The principal investigators and co-investigators shall be equally responsible for the proper use of the budget.
