Notice regarding the "Research and Development Grant Application Refinement Workshop" [Repost]
-------------------------
We will be holding an application refinement workshop for female researchers who plan to apply for the North Tech Foundation Research and Development Grant Program in FY27.
An application form that is about 40% complete is acceptable. Getting feedback from others at an early stage will help shorten the time it takes to complete the final proposal.
Please feel free to join us!

By having participants read each other's applications and give each other feedback,
① Learn how to explain your research clearly to people outside your field of expertise.
② Rediscover the strengths and weaknesses of the research.
We aim to do so.

"I want to create an application form that is easy for the judges to understand."
"I'd like to hear the opinions of researchers from other fields on my ideas."
To all female researchers who feel this way, please make the most of your lunch break. We encourage you to join us.

Date and Time: Monday, April 20, 2015, 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
