Successful researchers need ability, grit, a dash of luck and a plentiful supply of funds. I have grit and have recently been rather successful at drawing down funding. Ability and luck, however, are still in short supply.
Funds received and grants awarded are listed in reverse chronological order.
This page provides details of funding received since 2017. I have successfully written or co-written grant and funding applications for JSPS Kakenhi Grants-in-aid for Scientific Research, University of Aizu Competitive Reseach Fund and the University of Aizu Strategic Research Fund.
Grants-in-aid for Scientific Research (Kakenhi) are multi-year research grants awarded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. The grants are awarded based on a stringent peer-review screening process. The overall acceptance rate of proposals is approximately 25%.
The University of Aizu Competitive Research Fund awards single-year research grants on the basis of a written proposal and formal presentation given to the review board.
The strategy research fund was a single-year grant offered only in 2017. The criteria for allocation was similiar to the UoA Competitive Research Fund.
Aston Insitute of Forensic Linguistics (AIFL) is research institute within Aston University in the United Kingdom. AIFL grants are competitive and awards are based on peer-review. This grant is for one year.
