RICAS Research Projects are research projects which are conducted primarily by RICAS and the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia. The goals of the projects are to assemble research information to be offered by RICAS, organize resources and materials, and construct databases in the fields of literature, art, and societies and information.
RICAS Research Projects consist of "RICAS Funded Research Projects," projects conducted by the center or RICAS faculty with the use of RICAS funding, and "Externally Funded RICAS Research Projects," projects supported by non-RICAS funding such as external competitive research funding. As a general rule, the research achievements from RICAS Funded Research Projects are made available on the RICAS website.
