Comment from a grant recipient

Comment from a grant recipient
I received a research grant fromthe Subsidies for Women Researchers
on Studying/Doing Research Overseas,
and conducted research in the US.
As the journey was made while I
was busy with work I only stayedfor one week, but I was able toconduct valuable interviews withthe research targets, gather documents
only available in the places I visited,and greatly further my research. I2

felt that this internal system aimed
at female faculty not only ties ineasily to greater volition to tackle
research issues and more chances
than other external systems, andalso provides the opportunity toencourage the lives of women
researchers and dramatically
improve them.
[Associate Professor, Faculty ofEducation]

My target for this academic year issubmitting to international journals
academic papers on my own research
results and those written by thedoctoral students whose research I
supervise. I am eager to compile thepapers and be sure not to miss thisfantastic and unexpected chance toreceive support! Thanks to the subsidies
my motivation has been boosted.
The publishing of research results ininternational academic journals is avital step in improving science andtechnology and contributing to thebuilding up of the universal body ofknowledge. However, the fact is thatﬁnding time to concentrate on thewriting of academic papers is difficult.
Gaining support in the creation of English
language papers is something I am
obviously very grateful for in ﬁnancial
terms and from the sense of saving
precious time. With the target of raising
the University’s level of internationalrecognition, I intend to devote
myself to study in the future too.
[Associate Professor, Graduate Schoolof Biomedical Sciences]

Through the publishing of role model collections
and seminars, the Support Office builds afoundation for fostering the women researchersof the future.
