The “Path of the Sun” is an area which stretches from Nara in the west to Ise in the east at latitude 34°32’ north. Along the “Path of the Sun”, a major pilgrimage road runs. It is called“Ise-Honkaido”, which leads to Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred place in the Shinto religion and the most important religious site in Japan. Many historically important temples and shrines are also scattered on “Path of the Sun”. They were designed taking direction into consideration, implying that the direction was regarded as a sacred path of sun worship.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the lead support agency. Paul Herer, Senior Advisor for Planning and Technology Evaluation, is NSF Program Director for the project. Other sponsors of JTEC include the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Commerce (DOC), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the U.S. Air Force. JTEC assessments contribute to more balanced technology transfer between Japan and the United States. The Japanese excel at acquisition and perfection of foreign technologies, whereas the U.S. has relatively little experience with this process. As the Japanese become leaders in research in targeted technologies, it is essential that the United States have access to the results. JTEC provides the important first step in this process by alerting U.S. researchers to Japanese accomplishments. JTEC findings can also be helpful in formulating governmental research and trade policies.
