Review criteria -The proposal must be based on the needs of the ODA recipient country, and be largely in line with Japan's ODA policy with regard to that country—Aligned with ODA policy. -The proposal must target the acquisition of new knowledge that can lead to the advancement of science and technology and to the development of new knowledge and technology for addressing global issues—Scientific/technical value. - The proposed project must envisage future utilization of research outcomes in society (This does not necessarily have to be achieved within the research period; however, the idea to return the outcomes expected in the research plan to society should be clearly defined, such as by outlining the direction for the partner country's future activities, or for deployment to other regions or markets)—Direction for utilization of research outcomes

Cont…

20/9

Review criteria • The project must have the potential to develop science and technology that could not be achieved by research in Japan alone, to train young Japanese researchers, to make effective use of Japan's science and technology in the developing country and globally, and moreover, to strengthen Japan's presence—Merits for Japan. • There must be a concrete plan for joint research with the developing country, a clear designation of the chief researcher in Japan and in the partner country, and of research institutes or other setups in both countries to undertake the research activities. Moreover, at the end of the joint research period, the developing country must have prospects for continuing to manage and maintain the equipment provided and continue with research—Setup for research in both countries. There must be a suitable research expense plan that takes into account research cost performance in the promotion of joint research—Efficient & appropriate research plan. • It is vital for the PI to possess strong resolve and enthusiasm for promoting joint international research as the leader of a joint research team as well as exhibit strong and trustworthy leadership under JICA technical cooperation— Competent PI. 21/9

Considerations for the selection process •

The proposal (project) will be favorably evaluated if the plan involves scientific and technological research of a high standard, is specific rather than general, and has a clear roadmap, including timing and methodology, for utilizing the research outcomes in society.

• The direction for returning research outcomes to society after the research project terminates is clearer if the entity likely to take on that role participates from the initial stages of research and development. From that perspective, proposals incorporating partnerships with corporations (industry-academia-government collaboration to work with the outcomes are particularly welcomed. When making an application for a industry-academia-government collaboration project Continue…. 22/9

Considerations for the selection process

•

In view of the nature of the program in dealing with issues on a global scale, proposals for conducting international joint research involving Japan and more than one other country are welcomed. Research projects extending over several countries need to ensure that the ODA applications from each country are submitted by the deadline. If all the documents are not submitted, the application is judged to be "Incomplete," and excluded from selection. It is also necessary to have a signed R/D from all associated countries in order for the project to start.
