ご無沙汰しています、キリンの横向です。
キリンに1995年1年間インターンとして学部生の時にカナダから留学していたＲｉｅｋｏ Ｙａｊｉｍａさん（現在AAAS勤務：サイエンスの出版社）から、下記のようなメールの案内がモネル研所長のビーチャムさんと横向慶子宛てにありました。
11月5日が締め切りのようですが、学部生の短期留学をサポートする制度のようです。ＪＡＳＴＳで案内してはどうかと思い、メールをしています。
よろしくご対処お願いいたします。

Dear Gary and Yoshiko,
Wanted to pass along the following funding announcement – might be of interest to Monell?
$75K to run a program that provides short-term researchexperiences for Japanese undergraduate students (see RFP attached). Given Japan’s active interest in taste science, could be an interesting fit.
Hope you are both keeping well,
