2. External Research Grant
All Kavli IPMU faculty members and postdocs are encouraged to obtain external research grants. One of the most popular research fund in Japan is Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research, which is run by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
