| Research Progress Assessment |
FY2013 - |
This is divided into: ‘Abstract (Research Progress Assessment)’; ‘Progress Assessment (Comments on the Site Visits)’; ‘Research Progress Assessment (Result)’; and ‘Research Progress Assessment (Verification Result)’(Depending on the research category, only some of them are published.) The main text is also available in the PDF format. The research categories to be included are: ‘Specially Promoted Research’; ‘Basic Research (S)’; ‘Young Scientists (S)’; and ‘Creative Scientific Research’. |
There is no project for ‘Young Scientists (S)’ after FY2016. There is no project for ‘Creative Scientific Research’ after FY2014. |
| Follow-up Assessment | FY2011 - |
This is divided into: ‘Abstract (Follow-up Assessment)’; ‘Self-evaluation (Follow-up Assessment)’; and ‘Comments (Follow-up Assessment)’. The main text is also available in the PDF format. The research category to be included is ‘Specially Promoted Research’. |

| Products Report | - |
This is the report to be submitted when research products from the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research are published in journals and books after the research period, or when the industrial property right (patent, utility model right, design right), which is reported in ‘Annual Research Report’, ‘Research-status Report’ or ‘Final Research Report’, is established or a new application is filed. This report does not exist for every project. |
|
| Self- evaluation Report | FY2008 - FY2010 |
This is the data on ‘Self-evaluation Report’, which was introduced in 2008. The main text is also available in the PDF format. The report used to be submitted in the third year of a project in the following categories: ‘Grant-in-Aid for Specially Promoted Research’; ‘Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas (Planned Projects)’; ‘Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research’; ‘Grant-in-Aid for Encouragement of Young Scientists’; and ‘Grant-in-Aid for Creative Scientific Research’. |
‘Self-evaluation Report’ was abolished in 2010. |
| Final Research Report Summary | FY1985 - FY2007 |
This is the data on ‘Final Research Report Summary’, which used to be submitted in the final fiscal year of a multi-year project. ‘Final Research Report Summary’ is only available for “categories” that requires the submission of ‘Final Research Report’. |
