[About the KGRI Research Grant for the COVID-19 Crisis]
Grant Amount: Up to 5 million yen per project for approximately 2 projects
Research Period: June 2020–March 2021 (However, extensions may be granted for particularly outstanding research upon new application and review.)
Eligibility (Principal Investigator): Must be a faculty member of Keio University (including assistant professors and fixed-term faculty).
Eligible Research:
(1) Research for emergency measures to minimize the impact of the novel coronavirus
(2) Research for medium- to long-term measures in the post-novel coronavirus era. We encourage interdisciplinary research that spans multiple groups both inside and outside Keio University (including overseas centers), rather than research by a single research group. Additionally, based on the submitted proposals, KGRI may combine several proposals to suggest a more interdisciplinary research project.
