International collaborative opportunity – Japanese Agency for Medical Research and Development ASPIRE funding program
The Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) opened the Adopting Sustainable Partnerships for an Innovative Research Ecosystem (ASPIRE) Alignment call on 17 April 2026. The ASPIRE program is designed to foster the exchange of information and to encourage collaboration between Japan and partner countries.
AMED will accept research proposals in which Japan-based research teams collaborate with already-funded researchers from partner countries where the research aligns with the aims of ASPIRE.
NHMRC grant recipients are encouraged to contact their RAO directly when their research partner applies for this opportunity.
Further information is available at the AMED website.
