5. User Feedback
"Due to frequent meetings and discussions, we were unable to conduct experiments that required uninterrupted time. However, by entrusting these tasks to the technical assistants provided through this support program, we have been able to smoothly advance our research activities. Furthermore, by having the technical assistants assist us with nascent research that did not yet have funding, we were able to accumulate results, which led to securing new funding."
"With various committees both inside and outside the university taking up my time, this support was a great help. This year, I requested assistance with statistical analysis in my research, compiling figures and tables for conference presentations, and creating draft posters. Being able to employ a graduate student allowed them to gain practical skills in statistical analysis and results presentation, separate from their own research. Furthermore, it helped me to consolidate delayed paper data and prepare for submission."
"This support was incredibly helpful in research that requires daily tasks such as animal care. While I was required to attend meetings and travel both within and outside the university, being able to proceed with experiments according to the research plan, especially in collaborative research with external partners, was a huge advantage."
