Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas (Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research)

Purpose of Application

　The Japan Academy of Nursing Science (JANS) promotes research activities and fosters and supports young researchers with the aim of contributing to the health and welfare of people through the development of nursing science and the exchange of knowledge.
　The Research and Academic Advancement Committee has been supporting members who plan to apply as Principal Investigators for "Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas (A)," "Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas (B)," "Basic Research (S)," and "Basic Research (A)," which we consider as large-scale research among the research categories of Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research. We have provided support to members who are planning to apply for "Specially Promoted Research," "Research on Academic Transformation Areas (A)," "Research on Academic Transformation Areas (B)," "Basic Research (S)," and "Basic Research (A)" as representative researchers. This year, we are again accepting applications for participation in this project.
　We hope that those who participate in this project will share the experience and knowledge gained by the Research and Academic Advancement Committee and work together with us to acquire large-scale research that will lead to co-creation and fusion with researchers in diverse academic fields, solve social issues, and foster young researchers. We look forward to receiving applications from members who will work with us in friendly competition to acquire large-scale research projects in the field of nursing science.
