Through arrangements made with the Fogarty International Center of

the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Science and Technology

Agency of Japan (STA) is offering five fellowships for American

researchers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences to pursue

collaborative research in selected Japanese public-sector

laboratories.  STA Fellowship funding is available for stays ranging

from one to three months.  The fellowship award includes

international air travel, a monthly stipend of 270,000 yen, housing,

medical insurance, a monthly family allowance of 50,000 yen if

accompanied by dependents, and an adjustable allowance to cover

international moving expenses.  Researchers at all stages in their

careers may apply.



These fellowships are intended to enhance American-Japanese

collaboration by providing flexible opportunities for capable

American scientists to work with colleagues in leading Japanese

laboratories on substantive projects of mutual interest.  The

fellowships are being offered as a pilot program at this time only.

Because recipients must arrive in their host laboratories in Japan by

March 31, 1996, interested persons should contact the Fogarty

International Center immediately.
