Confirming the absence of interested parties
In implementing adoption examination, NEDO holds the Adoption Examination Committee
by outside experts invited from universities, research institutions, companies, and so on. In
the Adoption Examination Committee, as well as conducting fair examination, the use of the
proposed information obtained through these meetings is prohibited.
NEDO is also trying to exclude any interested party from the committee meetings with thehighest care in the stage of selecting the committee members. Furthermore, NEDO is
asking the committee members themselves to confirm in advance that they are notinterested parties; if NEDO determines that they are indeed interested parties, NEDO may
take certain measures such as precluding them from examination in this matter, with theaim of ensuring fair and equitable examination.
As such, NEDO asks all proposers to describe the information that shall be presented tothe adoption examination committee members for preview. NEDO shall present the namesof proposers, name of the research and development project, and technical points
described in this document to the adoption examination committee members so that eachmember is able to judge whether or not he/she himself/herself is an interested party, more
importantly, a competitor. Concerning technical points, NEDO would like you to describe
your technical aspects to the extent considered necessary for identifying a competitive
relationship between the parties.
Furthermore, please provide specific details regarding any possibility that the proposer
and the PD may be interested parties. The definition of interested party shall be as
described below. As NEDO seeks to assemble top-class research and development
capabilities and various forms of knowledge in its business endeavors, it will not be
excluding parties from the implementation system through application of a uniform standard
to assess the existence of interested parties. NEDO will determine whether participation by
the party in question is appropriate based on the necessity, rationality, and appropriateness,among other factors, of the relationship at issue. Note that NEDO may determine that theparties are interested parties based on information other than what is provided.
1) The PD’s spouse, blood relative within the fourth degree, marital relatives within the third
degree, or family living with the PD
2) Parties who were in the same class, laboratory, etc. at the same university or researchorganization as the PD, or were employed in the same business as the PD

3 / 25<3>3) Proposer who is a member of the same research project as or a joint researcher of thePD, or the university, research organization, business, or other entity with which the PD isaffiliated4) Proposer who is in a direct and competitive relationship with the PD, or the university,
research organization, business, or other entity with which the PD is affiliated5) Any other party who may be an interested party of the PD, or the university, researchorganization, business, or other entity with which the PD is affiliated
Additionally, if there is anyone that you believe is an interested party in the process of
NEDO selecting adoption examination committee members, you may feel free to voluntarily
describe your concern in the corresponding entry column in the attachment. If the adoption
examination committee members comment that they are unable to judge whether or notthey are interested parties, NEDO may request you for additional information. In that case,
NEDO will appreciate your cooperation.

2) Improvements in NEDO's operational management
3) The reflection of findings in technical development strategies

Survey periods
Unless otherwise specified, the status of this project shall be surveyed for five years after thecompletion of this project (a six-year-long survey).
Depending on the project, NEDO may continue to survey the status for over six years.
Entities subject to surveys
The institutions that participated in the project funded by NEDO (Entrustees, grantees, ReEntrusted Contractors, etc.). If the institution is made up of multiple institutions (such as researchand development partnerships), each of the constituting institutions is also subject to surveys.
The institutions that left from the project implementation system before the completion of the
project are also subject to surveys.
If a third party took over the project's technical results that an institution subject to surveys held
(as a result of a merger between corporations, business succession, and others), the institutionthat took over the technical results shall be subject to surveys.

Supplementary matters to follow-up surveys and evaluations
Q. What are follow-up surveys and evaluations?
A. To understand the consequence of technical results from NEDO projects, NEDO is
conducting questionnaire surveys and hearing surveys for the project implementer on thetrends in the five years after the completion of the project (six years for reviews). These
activities are called follow-up surveys. These are not activities for NEDO to evaluate theprojects the implementer has developed after the completion of this project.
Q. Which projects are subject to follow-up surveys and evaluations?
A. Research and development projects are subject to these follow-up surveys andevaluations, with international demonstration projects and introduction and dissemination
projects excluded.
3/4< 60 >

Even if they are the implementers of research and development projects, the institutions
that fall under the following items are not subject to these surveys.
(i) Projects having only a small number of research and development factors. For example,
the institutions that conducted LCA assessments and market surveys.
(ii) Subcontractors, contractors, and the like.
(iii) The institutions that NEDO is not entrusting or subsidizing for research anddevelopment (the institutions to which NEDO's committee meeting members belong, theinstitutions to which NEDO provides samples, and the institutions to which NEDO provides
research corporation such as advice and others).
Q. For what are these surveys conducted?
A. People's tax funds NEDO projects. NEDO is accountable for explaining the outcome topeople by understanding the economic and social benefits created by NEDO projects.
Additionally, NEDO is conducting these surveys to improve its technical development
management and reflect findings in its technological development strategies.
Q. What should we do specifically?
A. When the project is over, please advise your person responsible for follow-up surveys. In
the first, second, fourth, and sixth year after the completion of this project, NEDO will sende-mails to that person with a request for a questionnaire survey. Please reply to thequestionnaire on the NEDO website.
When you successfully achieve productization and commercialization, and when you cancel
or interrupt the project, NEDO may request you to receive a detailed follow-up survey andhearing survey to check the status and causes (for a part of companies).
