| Course description |
|
This class aims to acquire knowledge related to the R & D funding system and the skills required to apply for external funding. The knowledge and skills are essential for conducting R & D. The aim is to gain knowledge of practical training and policy background. We will also improve our ability to prepare applications by understanding what aspects of the grant are being reviewed. It is increasingly important today that universities, research institutes, and researchers can obtain their research funds. In this lecture, I will first explain the background of the policy discussion on research funding, which is considered necessary in applying for research funding. Second, I will provide an overview of representative funding agencies and government funding. This overview includes the contents of publicly offered funds in the university's research activities and the evaluation of required results after obtaining research funds and conducting research. As an exercise, the students are required to establish the knowledge and accumulate the technical experience of implementation by creating simulated application documents for typical publicly offered R & D funds. In addition, if there is room in the class time, we will have lectures by practitioners from R&D fund distribution organizations (Japan Agency for Medical Development (AMED) (for medical science) and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) (for all areas), which are public research fund distribution organizations in Japan). *The contents can be changed depending on the instructors. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Based on the above contents, students will be able to apply for research and development funds by acquiring research-related information collection methods and formulate research plans by positioning the acquisition and management of research and development funds in their research and development process. *Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. |

Overall Summary (Class schedule: Intensive class method) (#Tentative) October 2 (Sat.) first {5 period} (1 frames) October 9 (Sat.) second to third {5 and 6 periods} (2 frames) October 30 (Sat.) fourth to fifth {5 and 6 periods} (2 frames) November 6 (Sat.) sixth to seventh {5 and 6 periods} (2 frames) November 13 (Sat) 8th to ninth {5 and 6 periods} (2 frames) November 20 (Sat.) 10th to 11th {5 and 6 periods} (2 frames) November 27 (Sat.) 12th to 13th {5 and 6 periods} (2 frames) December 4 (Sat) 14th to 15th {5 and 6 periods} (2 frames) January 22 (Sat.) Preliminary {5 and 6 periods} (2 frame) If you have enough time, it is recommended that you have researched papers, patents, and others, as candidates for the exercise materials before the course starts (Japanese and English are acceptable). Preparing for the exercises involves a substantial workload, such as selecting papers and reading them (and researching related research articles). It is important to note that the preparation period is only about two months, as it is an intensive lecture format. The students are required to prepare and review in accordance with the standard hours of the university in addition to 30 hours of class time. During class time, we will set up several 30 minutes of work related to the exercises' preparation. Questions regarding the exercises will be accepted at that time. In the exercise, the presentation theme is not supposed to be the actual research subject of each student to avoid the inequality between full-time and part-time students and control research information. To choose the proxy areas or subjects is, nevertheless, possible. This course will not aim to improve actual student applications for grants. If you need to do so, it is recommended to consult with your laboratory instructors. |
| Prerequisites |
|
After the first session of guidance, we will immediately start preparing for the final presentation exercise. After the end of the course registration period (October 30), class participation will result in 3 absences out of 15 classes. To earn credits, please pay close attention to your study plan. The students must be able to use the university library and the university academic article database. Failure to do so may make it difficult to conduct graded exercises. If you wish to take courses and earn credits when you cannot use the resource, please contact the instructor and obtain permission before registration. It is necessary to have a certain level of research skills such as reading comprehension of academic papers (knowledge on the structure of papers) and previous literature search and patent search. It is hoped that you have experience beforehand. |

| Assessment/Grading |
|
Over 70% of attendance is requested. The evaluation will be determined by the 5-point method. Exercise presentation (40%) and a report on the presentation's contents (60%) make a comprehensive evaluation. S (90-100): Superior A (80-89): Good B (70-79): Fair C (60-69): Poor D (0-59): Not Applicable |
| Message from instructor(s) |
| The lecturer has practical experience in R & D evaluation, innovation policies and standardization strategies at the Council for Science, Technology, and Innovation, Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, and others. In the formulation of the Science and Technology Basic Plan, and others, I have been planning policy for the management of R & D funds. Currently, I am conducting research and education activities from the viewpoint of innovation theory and management strategy theory at the Research Institute of Economy, Trade, and Industry. I would like to explain the contents based on both policy practice and academic theory. |
