Human Frontier Science Program is an international Program established in 1989 to promote innovative international collaborative research in the field of life sciences.
This Program is open for you, researchers and students of any disciplines who are interested in life sciences and want to pursue your own ideas and possibilities with a global mindset.
We are going to hold explanatory meetings at Osaka University and Kyoto University on Wednesday, 4 October and Thursday, 5 October, respectively. Introduction of the Program regarding its Research Grants for independent researchers and Fellowships for postdoctoral fellows will be made by sharing the experiences of alumni and review committee members. You may be interested in either Research Grants or Fellowships. You are free to attend the only part that interests you.
