KAKENHI Writing Seminar for Early-stage Researchers

Navigating KAKENHI: Your Guide to a Compelling Grant Proposal

A compelling grant proposal tells a research story that even reviewers outside your specific field can easily understand and connect with. But how do you prepare one if you don’t know what your reviewers are looking for in their evaluation? Moreover, how do you effectively incorporate those insights into your proposal?

To answer this question, this seminar will navigate you through the essentials: from a basic overview of KAKENHI and its evaluation system, to the practical skill of crafting a compelling storyline that reflects the reviewer’s perspective.

For early-stage researchers (especially those from overseas) challenging KAKENHI for the very first time, this seminar will be a practical guide to help you succeed! And if you already have experience with KAKENHI, utilize this seminar to refresh your foundational knowledge before writing!
