Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Report Review

FY2027 KAKENHI Peer Review
– Now accepting applications

To support Science Tokyo researchers applying for FY2027 Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI), the Office of Research and Innovation is providing the KAKENHI Peer Review service.
Through this service, applicants can receive feedback on their proposals from Science Tokyo faculty and emeritus professors who have experience serving as KAKENHI reviewers.
If you are planning to apply for our review service, we encourage you to participate in a seminar on Grants-In-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) in English. The seminar will include an introduction to KAKENHI as well as a discussion on best practices when preparing your application.
