of accelerator and particle physics by supporting the exchange of graduate students between Japan and the United States. All graduate students enrolled, or undergraduate students already accepted for enrollment, in accredited Japanese or U.S. physics Ph.D. programs
are eligible to apply. The Japanese students are hosted in the DOE national labs, and the U.S. students are hosted at KEK institutions, including J-PARC, or HEP labs at specific universities in Japan. The 2026 program is open for application from Oct 24
to Dec 19, 2025. </i></span></p>
