【2024 International Collaborative Research】

CALL FOR APPLICATIONSINTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH FOR FY2024
Institute for Protein Research (IPR), Osaka University, invites applications for international
collaborative research. The research should be conducted in the form of a collaboration with at least
one of the Principal Investigators (PIs) at IPR, or it should use equipment/experimental facilities ofIPR including:- Beamline for Biological Macromolecular Assemblies at SPring-8 (BL44XU)- Solution NMR Spectrometers with Ultra-high Magnetic Field- Solid-state-NMR Spectrometers- Cryo-electron Microscopes
The research period for FY2024 is from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. Successful applicants
will receive financial support for travel expenses, up to the amount determined at the time ofacceptance, based on the availability of the funds.
Each applicant should submit an “Application Form” for collaborative research with arecommendation by at least one PI at IPR (listed on the next page). The submission deadline for
FY2024 is December 1, 2023. After review, accepted applicants will be announced at the end ofMarch 2024. We also consider urgent proposals submitted after the deadline, at any time during
FY2024. However, please note that travel support may not be granted for late proposals.
NOTE(1) The application form should be submitted to the PI who will be conducting the joint research.
(2) Each researcher should be responsible for his/her health insurance while staying at IPR.
(3) “Research Report” must be submitted within one month after completion of the collaborativeresearch.
(4) “Application Form” and “Research Report Form” are available on the website:
http://www.protein.osaka-u.ac.jp/joint/(5) When the research results are published in a journal, the researchers should describe that theresearch has been conducted under this program. The following sentence should be added to theacknowledgement section:"This work was (in part) performed under the International Collaborative Research Program ofInstitute for Protein Research, Osaka University, ICR-24-05."
Note:
ICR is an abbreviation for “International Collaborative Research”.
24 is “2024”.
05 is the Division Number. Please refer to page 2.
