GRANTS for RESEARCH PROJECTS

The Keio SFC Academic Society created a foundation in 2003 to offer research grants to SFC faculty members, undergraduate and graduate students, and other members of the Society. Since then, it has supported research activities by members, expanding the range of activities covered. Supported activities include announcement of research results in Japan or overseas, publication of research papers, residential workshops, field studies, and the hosting of symposiums.

Eligible activities for this grant include the presentation of research results both domestically and internationally, publication of research papers, research retreats, fieldwork investigations, and the organization of symposiums. In all cases, recipients are required to submit and publicly share a report detailing the outcomes of the supported activities upon their completion. Please be sure to read this application guideline thoroughly before applying. Key points to note are summarized below:


> It is strongly recommended that the outcomes and content of supported activities be presented at the Academic Exchange Conference.

> If the research is presented at domestic or international academic conferences, or published in academic journals, please be sure to include an acknowledgment stating that the research was supported by this grant.

> This grant is intended to subsidize part of the expenses related to research activities.¥

> At the time of financial reconciliation, original receipts equal to or exceeding the granted amount must be submitted. Receipts must be addressed to "Keio SFC Academic Society."

> Activities or projects that should be funded by regular university budgets (e.g., official university courses) are not eligible for this grant.

> Registration of information via Google Form is required at the time of application.

> For the category "(C) Grant for Networking activity or research camp for seminar class," starting from FY2024, each faculty member who is a member of the society may submit up to two applications per year if they are supervising two different research groups with non-overlapping student participants. Please ensure that student participants do not overlap when submitting applications.
