Introduction
This project makes use of the network characteristics of the Center to promote the forming of research teams combining researchers (professors, associate professors, lecturers, and research associates) affiliated to two or more of the research institutes that make up the Radiation Disaster and Medical Science Research Center. It started in April 2017 as an inter-university initiative of the Radiation Disaster and Medical Science Research Center, but it has changed to a joint usage and research system between researchers affiliated to the said three research institutes, so please do not hesitate to apply.
Application subjects
The subjects and keywords of the applied research are as follows.
In addition, a new theme, “Medical Radiation Research,” has been set for FY2022.
