ABSTRACT

Drawing on my own experience as a 2023 JALT Research Grant recipient, this interactive poster presentation aims to encourage conference attendees who do not have access to funding at their institution(s), and are not yet ready to apply for a larger and more complex kaken grant, to consider making their own grant applications. Areas covered include the range of grants available (including those supported by PanSIG and offered by the various SIGs), the application process and what to expect, details of the support available both during the application process and while conducting the research itself, and reflections on my own experience so far and the challenges I have overcome. The paper-based poster will also display QR codes for useful links and more detailed information. It is my hope that many of those who engage with this presentation will go on to become successful research grant applicants themselves, and will develop both personally and professionally as a result.
