Blank cell: The researcher can apply for both research projects.
－: A researcher can only apply for one research project in one and the same research category (application section) (In case he/she has a continued research project
mentioned in column A, he/she cannot apply for a research project mentioned in column B)
×: The researcher can only apply for one research project (in case he/she applied for a research project mentioned in column A, he/she cannot apply for a research project

□: The researcher can apply for both research projects. However, in case both are adopted, he/she only implements the research of the research project in B.
★: As a rule parallel grant application are not accepted. (This does not apply to cases where it is necessary to conduct two clearly different research projects within thesame fiscal year.)*1 The case of application for a second time grant acquisition in the research category, “Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists”.
*2 Applicable to those receiving a second time grant for a continued research project under "Early-Career Scientists."*3 As for the Fostering Joint International Research (International Collaborative Research), a call for proposals is scheduled in around March 2025.
*4 This restriction on parallel grant application/receipt does not apply if the researcher continues to use the Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows (JSPS Research Fellow)
in the case that he/she has declined a JSPS Research Fellowship and become disqualified and thus he/she remains eligible to apply for KAKENHI grants.
*5 JSPS Research Fellows (DC) may not apply for research categories other than the Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows (JSPS Research Fellow)
and Fostering Joint International Research as Principal Investigators.

Note that if a PI of a Planned Research project in the Transformative Research Areas is selected as PI for a Specially Promoted Research, such Planned Research
project is not allowed to replace its PI and must be abolished.
*Research projects in Innovative Areas (Publicly Offered Research) are subject to the restriction on parallel grant application/receipt similar to the restriction
which applies to those in Transformative Research Areas (A) (Publicly Offered Research).
