Call for Applications for the Cooperative Research Program in 2020

The Kyoto University Primate Research Institute offers the Cooperative Research Program for researchers who wish to conduct primatological research through or at our institution. This program enables interested parties to use our animal collections, materials and research facilities/equipment, as well as access our field sites within Japan. Furthermore, we can provide visiting researchers accommodations at our on-campus dormitory.

If you are interested in this program, please submit an application form using the designated method described in the application guidelines.

There are three research categories: (1) Planned Research Projects; (2) Individual Research Projects; and, (3) Continuously Accepted Research Projects. We provide research expenses for projects accepted within the Planned Research Projects and Individual Research Projects categories. We recruit researchers for the Cooperative Research Program once a year, with applications due in January. We accept applications for Continuously Accepted Research Projects throughout the year. Each year, we support on average 120 projects involving 300 researchers through this program.
