Registration of Our Equipment in CFC SHARE Is Complete<\/h2>\n<p>As announced on July 1, 2026, the Shared Equipment Use Support Program for Early-Career Researchers changed on October 1, 2026, and eligible equipment is now <strong>limited to equipment registered in CFC (CFC SHARE-registered equipment)<\/strong>. For details of the program, and to check whether you are eligible, please see the following page (Tohoku University access only).<br><a href=\"https:\/\/c.bureau.tohoku.ac.jp\/wakatesetsubishien\/\">Shared Equipment Use Support Program for Early-Career Researchers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have been working to register the equipment managed by the Division in CFC SHARE, and <strong>the registration is now complete.<\/strong> Accordingly, users who plan to continue using equipment managed by the Division are asked to <strong>register as a CFC SHARE user and submit an equipment use application in CFC SHARE<\/strong>. Whether or not you are eligible for the Shared Equipment Use Support Program for Early-Career Researchers, if you fall under Section 2, you need your own CFC SHARE user registration.<\/p>\n\n<h2>2. Who This Mainly Applies To<\/h2>\n<p>The Division has two application routes: the <strong>Analysis Slot (\u5206\u6790\u67a0)<\/strong> and the <strong>ARIM (CINTS) Slot (ARIM\uff08CINTS\uff09\u67a0)<\/strong>. <strong>The CFC SHARE registration and application guidance on this page is aimed mainly at users of the Analysis Slot.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Currently, the Analysis Slot accepts only users who meet all of the following conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The user is <strong>a member of the university<\/strong> (on-campus user).<\/li>\n<li>The user has <strong>already obtained the Division&#8217;s license<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The user is a <strong>self-use<\/strong> user.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Every self-use user who actually reserves equipment under their own name in the Division&#8217;s reservation system, including students, also needs their own user account in CFC SHARE.<\/strong> Please note that it is not the case that only the laboratory head (the person responsible for payment) needs to register in CFC SHARE.<\/p>\n<p>The ARIM (CINTS) Slot follows a different application route from the Analysis Slot. This page does not cover the detailed procedures for the ARIM (CINTS) Slot.<\/p>\n\n<h2>3. Why CFC SHARE Registration Is Needed<\/h2>\n<p>From now on, CFC SHARE is required for the following two purposes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Transfer of usage fees<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Use of the Shared Equipment Use Support Program for Early-Career Researchers<\/strong> (for those eligible for the program)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At present, CFC SHARE alone cannot handle everything that the Division&#8217;s operation requires, such as accepting projects, managing machine time, reserving equipment and checking reservation status. The Division therefore uses its own system together with CFC SHARE (see Sections 8 and 9 below).<\/p>\n\n<h2>4. Those Who Are Asked to Register Early<\/h2>\n<p>If any of the following applies to you, please complete the procedures as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Those who have already submitted an application for use of the Division this fiscal year and are registered as the person responsible for payment<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Those who wish to use the Shared Equipment Use Support Program for Early-Career Researchers<\/strong> (for those eligible for the program)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Those who will serve as the &#8220;responsible person for usage&#8221; in CFC SHARE<\/strong> for a laboratory whose users include students (the responsible person must be registered in CFC SHARE before a student can apply; see Section 6)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n<h2>5. Registering as a CFC SHARE User (Logging In)<\/h2>\n<p>Open CFC SHARE and log in with <strong>&#8220;\u5b66\u5185\u5229\u7528\u8005\u3000\u6771\u5317\u5927ID\u3067\u30ed\u30b0\u30a4\u30f3&#8221; (On-campus user: Log in with Tohoku University ID; labeled &#8220;Tohoku Univ.
