  • Propose a research project, which you plan to follow at your chosen laboratory. The proposal must include the background, purpose of your research, experimental methods, and anticipated results.

Dear applicants,
Due to the highly competitive nature of the program, the Kyoto University Amgen Scholars Program does not offer individualized application guidance to specific candidates. This ensures fairness and impartiality in the application process, as the program receives a substantial number of applications each cycle. We kindly ask applicants to refrain from directly contacting potential hosting faculty members to seek their advice on your research proposal.

(Two) Recommendation Letters

In the online application system, you are required to nominate two people to provide letters of recommendation. Immediately after you submit your application, an e-mail notification will be automatically sent to the two people that you nominate with instructions on how to submit a letter of recommendation on your behalf.

Be sure to notify the people you nominate and receive their consent before you enter their contact details in the online application system, so as to ensure that the e-mail notification is not overlooked. Please also ensure that you submit your application allowing sufficient time for the persons nominated to submit their letters of recommendation on or before 3:00 p.m., February 1, 2025 (Japan Standard Time [UTC + 9:00hrs.]).

There is no specific format for the letter of recommendation, but it should be written on departmental letterhead, including the recommender’s signature. It should then be scanned and submitted as a PDF file.
