About the Review Section Table
The Review Section Table is classified by sections for the KAKENHI s review criteria. Applicantsshould select a review section that is most suitable for their own research proposal.
There are three review sections: Basic, Medium-sized and Broad. The Review Section Table
contains 1) Overview, 2) Table for Basic Section, 3) Table for Medium-sized and Broad Sections.
Looking at the Overview, the applicants can understand an overall picture of sections. In addition,
check the each Review Section Table for the detailed contents of each section and select a review
section for their research proposal.
The Basic Section is the fundamental unit. The Basic Section applies to Grant-in-Aid for
Scientific Research (B/C) (application section General ) and for Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career
Scientists. Each Basic Section offers some examples related to the research contents. They are tohelp applicants understand the content of the Basic Section, so applicants are allowed to submit
proposals even if the content is not given as examples.
The Medium-sized Section applies to Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A) (application
sectionGeneral )andGrant-in-Aid for Challenging Research (Pioneering/Exploratory).

Several Basic Sections are attached to indicate the scope of review for the Medium-sized Section.
However, applicants are allowed to submit proposals even if the content does not fall under the
Basic Sections included in the Medium-sized Section. It should be noted that some Basic Sections
are included in several Medium-sized Sections, so applicants can select the Medium-sized Sectionthat they consider most suitable for their own research proposal.
The Broad Section applies to Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (S).
Several Medium-sized Sections are attached to indicate the scope of review of the Broad Section.
However, applicants are allowed to submit proposals even if the content does not fall under the
Medium-sized Sections included in the Broad Section. It should be noted that some
Medium-sized Sections are included in several Broad Sections, so applicants can select theBroad Section that they consider most suitable for their own research proposal.
To respond flexibly to research diversity in the review process, application in the Basic,
Medium-sized and Broad Sections is made in the following formats: Basic Section:
Medium-sized Section:and related fields, and Broad Section: listed alphabetically.

hment1)The Review Section Table (Table for Basic Section)
When selecting a review section, applicants should first acquire an overall picture of the review
sections based on the Review Section Table (Overview). In addition, check the Review Section
Table (Table for Basic Section) for the detailed contents of each section and select a review
section for their research proposal.
Also, some items of Basic Section may be presented in plural Medium-sized and Broad Sections.
The items of Basic Section presented in plural Medium-sized Section are 9 and 3 items among 9
are presented in plural Medium-sized and Broad Sections (as shown below).
In addition, five other Basic Sections (90110-90150) may be presented in only one Medium-sized
Section and two Broad Sections.
When selecting a Medium-sized or Broad Section, applicants should refer to the Attachment 2
Review Section Table (Table for Medium-sized and Broad Sections), and select the one that
seems to be most suitable for their own research proposal.
