Form 1-4 6） Concrete research plan of a research project in close cooperation with multiple JHPCN member Institutions or using both large-scale data and a large capacity network If you wish reviews based on attention ② of "1. Joint Research Areas" in the call for proposals, please click a checkbox below and describe a concrete cooperation plan and its strong point in case of a research project in close cooperation with multiple JHPCN member institutions, and/or a concrete plan to use the very wide bandwidth network and massive data transfer in case of a research project using both large-scale data and a large capacity network. ☐ A Research project in close cooperation with multiple JHPCN member institutions ☐ A Research project using both large-scale data and large capacity networks

7） Are there anything that require the cooperation of a research group or researchers affiliated at JHPCN member institutions to promote the joint research? If so, please explain concretely your requirements:

8） Protection of Human Rights and Compliance with Laws and Regulations Describe the measures and actions that you will take if your research involves compliance with the related laws and regulations (e.g. research requiring the consent and the cooperation of the other party, research requiring consideration for the handling of personal information and research requiring efforts regarding bioethics and safety measures when implementing the research plan). This applies to surveys, research, experiments which require an approval procedure in an ethics committee inside and outside the research institution, such as for example questionnaire surveys and interview surveys in which personal information is involved, the use of provided samples, analysis study of the human genome, recombinant DNA experiments, experiments on animals, etc. Please indicate where this is not applicable.

9） Other matters: If you should wish to apply for an industrial joint research project, please describe a specific plan for industrial applications as well.

Form 1-5 ● Plan of Facility Usage if Research Resources are Required: 11/10/2017

(Research resources will be allocated on the basis of the descriptions provided in this section. If the use of several research resources is required, please describe each of them separately. In particular, if you plan to use a supercomputer, please describe the presumed CPU count, amount of memory, computing time and necessary storage capacity that will be required in relation to your research plan. Furthermore, if you will require large-scale calculation results and observation data, please describe the number of files and file sizes (individual files as well as the total size) expected per output, along with the output frequency and a simple description of your plan for these outputs. If you plan to use SINET5 L2VPN, please describe so. If you plan to use any other equipment, please describe it in relation to your research plan as well. If you need more rows to describe all the required resources, please add rows or tables as necessary.） JHPCN Summary of cumulative basis of resources Total node years/Total Resource Corresponding Institutio (computers) Storage Capacity (TB) Name(Computer) Research Item n （e.g.: ○ nodes × ○ hours，○ TB × ○ months） × Period(Month)
