The petition calls for greater funding for the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) programme, Japan's key source for basic-science funding for researchers across all disciplines.
In absolute terms, the KAKENHI budget has stagnated for a decade, leading to reduced project funding levels, negatively impacting research quality and competitiveness.
Declining research standing in Japan prompts the petition, reflecting concerns over reduced global competitiveness and the need for increased support for scientific endeavors.
