The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Research Fellowship for Young Scientists aims to foster and secure innovative researchers who will be the leaders of the future. Those who are selected as “JSPS Fellows” receive financial incentives for their research.
These researchers may also be granted grants-in-aid for scientific research (Grants-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows).

JSPS Fellows are selected after a two-stage documment assesment.
The application has a big impact on screening so it is important for academic advisors to take the initiative in instructing students on selecting material.
Furthermore, our university has introduced the 'Support Program for the Employment of Young Researchers to Improve the Research Environment.
Starting from April 1st, 2025, among the special researchers, PD, RPD, and CPD will be employed as 'Special Researchers (JSPS)' based on the university's employment regulations, with employment granted to all of them as a general rule.

*Schedule of the screening process (PD, DC)
The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science usually calls for applications in early February and ends in early June (however the deadline at the University is set before that).
Afterward, the results of the initial selection will be disclosed around early October, and the results of the second selection will be disclosed around early January.
Selections are decided on April 1.
