2) According to the application situation of each student to the JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientists (DC2), the third and fourth classes are slightly different in the four quarters as follows:
1Q: for the students who will apply for their DC2 proposal to the JSPS by the middle of May.
2Q: for the students who have not yet applied for it.
3Q: for the students who have already applied for it.
