Akiyama Memorial Life Promotion Foundation Research Grant applications are now being accepted.
We previously announced the start of applications, but recently we received a call from the Akiyama Memorial Life Promotion Foundation saying, "We are concerned about the number of applicants, so please reach out to them." The selection criteria include "female researchers" and "dissemination of results obtained from the grant-funded research ('outreach activities')." According to past recipients, it is a "very flexible and easy-to-use grant," so please do apply.
