The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) provides opportunities for overseas researchers who have conducted research activities under JSPS International Fellowships for Research in Japan or other JSPS programs to come back to Japan to create, sustain and/or strengthen research collaborations with Japanese colleagues. The objective is to build strong networks among researchers in Japan and other countries through a variety of activities. These include former JSPS fellows visiting their past host institutions in Japan, or coming to Japan to plan or implement joint research projects and seminars, to offer training or lectures for young researchers, or to prepare or attend scientific conferences and research meetings.
The 2022 BRIDGE Fellowship application deadline is January 16, 2022. Eligibility for this program is provided exclusively for the regular members of the US-Canada JSPS Alumni Association1 and who have experienced research in Japan under a JSPS program. (1 Persons who have been funded and/or awarded by JSPS and currently residing or have an affiliation with a research organization in the U.S. or Canada are eligible for regular membership; see Article 4, Membership Section 2 of the Bylaws.)
