Introduction
As Japanʼs sole research funding agency, theJapan Society for the Promotion of Science(JSPS) has as its mission the promotion ofscience.
The scientiﬁc research supported by JSPS
advances, pursuant to the governmentʼs 6th
Basic Plan for Science, Technology and Innovation, scientiﬁc research that discovers andelucidates new phenomena and that generates
knowledge which enables the creation of new
and original technologies. As such, JSPSʼs roleon the cutting edge of science is increasingly
growing.
This Data Book provides information on thesome 40 programs implemented by JSPS andon the support provided them and their results.
In the future as well, JSPS will continue to playits role as a core science-promotion institution

JSPS’s Mission
As Japan’s sole independent research funding agency with the objective of furthering the scientificadvancement, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) has as its mission funding
scientific research, fostering excellent researchers, promoting international scientific exchange, andsupporting the reform of universities. Holistically, JSPS’s mission also includes conducting research

related to the application of science and doing surveys and studies related to science-promotion

policies. Both by disseminating and promoting the utilization of these study results and findings,
JSPS contributes extensively to the advancement of science in Japan.

Within the context of JSPS’s 5th Midterm Plan and Objectives (1 April 2023 through 31 March
