Research Fellowships of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)

JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship for Foreign Researchers

This program was established to assist promising and highly qualified young foreign researchers wishing to conduct research in Japan. It is aimed at providing opportunities for such researchers to, under the guidance of their hosts, conduct cooperative research with leading research groups in universities and other Japanese institutions, thereby permitting them to advance their own research while stimulating Japanese academic circles, particularly young Japanese researchers, through close collaboration in scientific activities. Such collaboration is also intended to advance scientific research in the counterpart countries. (Fellowships are awarded for periods of 12 to 24 months.)
For more information, please access the JSPS website.

JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientists

In view of the growing need to foster young researchers who will play an important role in future scientific research activities, JSPS provides a special program under which fellowships are granted to 1) young Japanese postdoctoral researchers who conduct research activities at Japanese universities or research institutions on a non-employment basis and to 2) graduate students who conduct research in Japanese university doctoral programs.
For more information, please access the JSPS website (in Japanese).

If you would like to apply for these fellowships and your host researcher belongs to the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, please submit an application to the Research Support and Development Division through your host researcher. The applications are submitted to the JSPS by GRIPS.
