Inter-University Research Program Application Guidelines (Domestic)
for the University of Tokyo, Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR)
1. Purpose of Public Invitations for Applications
The purpose of public invitations for applications from researchers is to invite them to conduct observations
and research on cosmic rays and related topics in the broad sense together with ICRR.
2. Application Items
We publicly invite Inter-University Research Program proposals on the following topics.
A)

Research on cosmic rays in the broad sense that requires the use of ICRR’s joint use facilities
and equipment:
Joint use facilities and equipment belonging to ICRR and its various research divisions include the
Norikura Observatory, Akeno Observatory, Kamioka Observatory, Research Center for Cosmic
Neutrinos, KAGRA Observatory, High Energy Astrophysics facility in Canarias, and Kashiwa LowLevel Radioisotope Measurement Facility. ICRR’s computer system is also used jointly by its
research divisions.
B) Research on elementary particles or astrophysics falling under any of the following research
themes (a to f) and conducted jointly with ICRR
Research topicsa) Cosmic ray research conducted underground or in deep seab) Research on high-energy cosmic rays in the broad sense carried out using satellites and/or
balloons, and/or on high mountains and/or other above-ground locationsc) Research focused on detection and observation of sources of high-energy cosmic gamma raysd) Research on the origins of cosmic rays or interstellar matter and cosmic dust by chemicalcomposition analysis, isotope measurement, and other meanse) Research and the development of observation methods and equipment useful for the study ofcosmic rays in the broad sensef) Theoretical or exploratory research on themes in the study of cosmic rays in the broad
sense that are expected to become prominent in the futureC) Scientific Meetings
These meetings bring researchers together to discuss specific themes of particular interestin cosmic ray research in a broad sense. They are generally recommended to be conducted
at ICRR for approximately 1–3 days.
Domestic and international travel expenses are limited to travel to ICRR and its research facilities andobservatories in Japan and overseas. Travel to specific Scientific Meetings* held within Japan will also
be covered.
* Domestic travel expenses to locations other than ICRR will be reimbursed only for meetings on futureplans for cosmic ray research, jointly conducted by the Cosmic Ray Researchers Congress (CRC) andICRR.
We also accept research proposals limited to the use of facilities only. (See page 4, Notes on Applications 5)
3. Eligibility
Researchers (including postdoctoral fellows etc.) of universities and national or other public research
institutions. However, Principal Investigators must be full-time employees and able to take full responsibility for
conducting independent research. When a researcher or a specially appointed faculty employed by an externalfund applying as a Principal Investigator must enter the following items (1) and (2) in Form 3 “Confirmation

10. Budget Execution
Please contact the Inter-University Research Program Administrator when you would like to make a businesstrip, purchase goods, etc. The budget will be executed in accordance with the regulations of the University ofTokyo.

2Please submit your application through the Web system.
11. Reporting Research Results(1) After the end of the relevant fiscal year, the Principal Investigator should promptly submit Form 8 (Report of
Research Results) within two pages to the web system. Since the Research Result Reports are published as ison the ICRR website, they should be concise and clear. Additionally, as necessary, submit Form 9 (List of
Published Papers and Doctoral Degree Recipients) by uploading it.
(2) The Presentation Meeting of the ICRR Inter-University Research Program will be held before the end of therelevant fiscal year. Note that the content of these presentations will be used as a reference when assessing
applications for the following fiscal year.
(3) When publishing papers on the results of collaborative research, you should clearly state in the
Acknowledgments that the research was supported by ICRR’s Inter-University Research Program. (Article 7 in
the Regulations on Collaborators at the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research of the University of Tokyo)
The following is an example of acknowledgment for your reference. *( ) is optional.
• This work was (partially) supported by the Inter-University Research Program of the Institute for Cosmic Ray
Research (ICRR), the University of Tokyo.
12. Safety and Health Education, etc.
Participating researchers and research assistants are required to take safety and health education specified
by the facility to be used, and to observe the facility director’s instructions on safety and health. Participating
researchers are also required to have accident insurance and liability insurance coverage. Students and those
whose institutions do not guarantee accident and liability insurance (e.g., those belonging to foreign research
institutions) are recommended to purchase insurance such as "Student Education and Research Accident
Insurance" or "Japan Educational Exchange and Services (JEES)’s Supplementary Liability Insurance."
13. MiscellaneousA) Applicants should obtain informal consent from the head of their affiliation before applying.
B) When submitting a new application for the use of a facility, be sure to obtain the consent of the facility
director before application.
C) If the researcher applying has changed their affiliation in the year before submission and is a newly
appointed faculty member (in general with a full-time permanent position or a tenure track position) of the
new organization, we prioritize the support for such researcher. If eligible, please check "Applicable" inthe "Newly Appointed Faculty at the Current Affiliated Organization" section in the web system.
D) Human assistance provided for installing and operating observation equipment at Norikura Observatory
is limited to a certain period by the snowfall in winter. For this reason, consulting the director of the Norikura
Observatory is recommended when drafting your research plan.
E) Refer to Reference 2 on the last page for the details on overseas observatories.
F) Principal Investigators must have completed the ethics education program provided by their affiliation
and/or “eL CoRE” (e-Learning Course on Research Ethics provided by Japan Society for the Promotionof Science) by the time they apply if they plan to claim expenses.
