What is the difference between a ‘free words’ text field and a set of text fields that opens up by clicking the advanced search button?

The ‘free words’ text field can be used when you prefer to search quickly using keywords.
The set of text fields that opens and closes by clicking the advanced search button is for searching using detailed search conditions.
You can specify particular items in a project/report page using each text field in the advanced search area.

Can I search using logic operations?

Yes. You can use some logic operations.
Please list keywords with ‘AND’ or ‘OR’ between them. ‘AND’ means ‘both’, and ‘OR’ means ‘either’

If you list keywords with a space between them, it will be recognised as an ‘AND’ search. For details, please refer to HELP page.

When I search by a researcher’s name, the names that partly match are given as results. How can I search so that it only gives the results that match exactly?

You can search the name by enclosing it with slashes (/ /) in the Researcher Information field in the advanced search. This method will give you exact-match results for the researcher’s name.

For example, if you want the results for an exact match to ‘山田一太’, enter ‘/山田一太/’. In this way, it will not return the results for ‘山田一太郎’. For details, please refer to HELP page.

Why is there a description of the budget amount for a suspended project that did not receive the grant for a particular fiscal year due to childcare leave etc?

The description of budget amount in KAKEN is based on the tentative grant amount of the initial fiscal year.
Therefore, the information described in KAKEN and the actual grant-receiving status may be different.
