List of Item Number

(1) The first stage of the screening of the research fields followed by A to C in each category of the division column is carried out in three separate groups. The basis for this division in three groups is the keywords shown in all the research categories (except for “Overseas Academic Research”). Make sure to select from A to C based on the keyword, when applying for the research fields in the list.

(2) The first stage of the screening of the research fields followed by the numbers 1 to 5 in each category of the division column is carried out in separate groups. The basis for this division in separate groups is the keywords shown in “Scientific Research (C)”. Make sure to select a number from 1 to 5 based on the keyword, when applying for the research fields in the list for “Scientific Research (C)”.For research fields that include ※A or ※B, choose either A or B and division number 1 to 5.
