KAKEN - How to Search Research Projects: Research Project Details

1. Basic Information on Research Projects

• By clicking the link on a review section (or research field), it searches for research projects with the selected section (or field) as a search condition and displays the search results.
　　
• The amount for each fiscal year shown in the ‘Budget Amount’ section is the tentative grant amount allocated at the beginning of adoption.Therefore, it does not reflect the changes from suspended or ceased projects, and the use of an adjustment fund system, and so it may be different from the actual budget amount.
　　
• Regarding the Adopted Projects before 2015, the ‘Budget Amount’ total and the total of the yearly grants are sometimes different.
　　
• The end date in the ‘Project Period’ section does not reflect the changes from the brought-over or the use of an adjustment fund system, and so it may be different from the actual fiscal year.
　　
• Indirect cost is uniformly listed as the 30% of direct cost. It does not reflect the changes from the declined indirect cost etc, and so it may be different from the actual budget amount.
　　
• The status of each project is indicated by ‘Project Status’ as follows:
  
  　　　　
  • [Adopted] This means that the project has been tentatively adopted. This status is also used for a granted project that received a tentative decision for the second and subsequent years.
  　　　　
  • [Granted] This means that the project has been awarded a grant.
  　　　　
  • [Suspended] This means that the project has been suspended due to anti- and post-natal maternity leave or childcare leave.
  　　　　
  • [Ceased] This means that the project has ceased due to anti- and post-natal maternity leave or childcare leave.
  　　　　
  • [Declined] This means that the project has been declined.
  　　　　
  • [Discontinued] This means that the project has been discontinued.
  　　　　
  • [Completed] This means that the project has been completed. The project won’t be completed until either Annual Research Report of the final year or Final Research Report has been registered.
  　　
• As the Project Status is updated based on the Annual Schedule, it may take a while before the actual status of a project is reflected.
　　
• A declined or discontinued project will only be updated for the ‘Project Period’ but not for other items.
