Industrial Application Proposal Review Committee
Dates: February 2008, September 2008, March 2011
Overview: Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) supported the promotion of industrial application up to research term 2011B after the Industrial Application Fields were designated as the Priority Fields for the Priority Research Program on 26 January 2007, as the successor to the Program for Strategic Use of Advanced Large-scale Research Facilities, which started from research term 2005B.
During this period, JASRI established a Review Committee consisting of outside experts to reflect the results of its review of the research proposal in the management and improvement of the program. The Review Committee reviewed the Industrial Application Program in terms of the use system.

Nanotechnology Proposal Review Committee
Dates: March 2009, March 2013
Overview: Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) designated Nanotechnology Support Fields as the Priority Fields for the Priority Research Program on 26 January 2007 and, from fiscal year 2007, supported the research projects in nanotechnology/materials fields aimed at creating innovation within 5 to 10 years.
Because almost two years had passed since the start of the Nanotechnology Support Program, JASRI established a Review Committee consisting of outside experts to reflect its opinions on the future management of the research support program. This Review Committee reviewed the Nanotechnology Support Program on 12 March 2009 (Thu).
