Applying for this research grant provided a valuable opportunity to articulate my research more clearly and to further develop my skills in preparing application documents. Because the call for proposals was closely aligned with my research theme, I saw it as a meaningful challenge and decided to apply. I am truly grateful to Dr. Oishi and Dr. Yanagisawa for their guidance—both during the application process and in my day-to-day research. I look forward to carrying the insights I gained from this experience into my future work.
