The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), as the funding agency, provides two (2) main types of scientific collaboration fellowships using the NIH as a nominating authority. The Intramural Fellowship program allows Japanese Biomedical and Behavioral Scientists to conduct research at NIH. The remaining Extramural Fellowships, both Invitation and Postdoctoral, allow U.S. (and permanent resident) scientists to conduct cooperative research under their host researchers in Japan.
