  An acquisition of a research grant is important for the researchers to
conduct a research. The university will build up the organization and reinforce
the acquirement of external funds. The researcher becomes aware of grant
information and should investigate what kinds of grant it is. Therefore, the
staff at the support center for the Industry-Academia collaboration will
classify the grant into some categories according to the research fields.
However, the task is difficult to realize the matching of the research fields,
because the expert knowledge is required to completely classify them. We have
developed recommendation system of Grant-in-Aid system for researchers by using
JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) keywords. The characteristic
keywords are extracted from web sites and then the association rules between
researchers and grants are determined in the IF-THEN rule format. This paper
discusses the experimental results by using the developed system.
