In order to create an environment in which young researchers can concentrate on their research, the country has chosen 700 people and has decided to create a new system that will provide research expenses of 7 million yen per person for seven years in principle.
Young researchers in Japan often have a few years' deadline and are often getting research funds in a tough competition. One is pointed out.
Therefore, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has newly established a fund of about 50 billion yen, and in principle, selects about 700 researchers from young researchers up to 40 years of age over 3 years and provides an average of 7 million yen per year for research expenses per person. We decided to make a system to do.
The period of payment is 7 years in principle, and 10 years is assumed in the longest, and it is characterized by long-term support compared to the support measures of young researchers so far.
The selection of eligible young researchers will be done by the Japan Science and Technology Agency, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
Regarding the research environment of young researchers, Akira Yoshino, who was selected as the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, should repeatedly create an environment where young researchers can concentrate on their research in order not to reduce their research capabilities. I was speaking.
