      <\/a>1. What is the Budding Researchers Support Program?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      The Budding Researchers Support Program is the research proposal using SPring-8 installed synchrotron radiation with broad wavelength range spanning infrared light to X-rays and advanced measurement systems (same as General Proposals) and intends to encourage budding researchers who will shape the future of synchrotron radiation research. Under the program, we will provide support for graduate students with an exploratory and original research proposal or research theme. Interested and qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. Please prepare your proposal application using the following guidelines and instructions. Please also refer to the “Call for 2022B SPring-8 Research Proposals – Overview –<\/a>.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      <\/a>2. Application Requirements<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      Applicants must be either
      \r\n a) Ph.D. students or
      \r\n b) Master\u2019s students, who will be PhD. students at the time of experiment at the SPring-8.
      \r\n Applicants are required to show initiative, work independently, and be self-reliant when conducting research. All applicants must obtain permission to apply from their PhD. advisors, who can be responsible for the experiment at SPring-8. If you are unsure whether or not you qualify, please contact the SPring-8 Users Office at       sp8jasri@spring8.or.jp<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

      IMPORTANT:<\/strong>
      \r\n Users must maintain their student status at the time of experiment. Otherwise, users are required to carry out their approved Budding Researchers Support Proposals as General Proposals and are no longer eligible for reimbursement of domestic travel and lodging expenses. If you have graduated from school\/taken a job and will no longer be a student at the time of experiment, you must report to the Users Office (see       13. Contact<\/strong><\/a>). Failing to do so may result in you having to refund the amount paid to you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
