The SATREPS program is a Japanese government program that promotes international joint research．The program has been structured as a collaboration between the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), supported by the Ministry of Education，Culture， Sports，Science and Technology (MEXT) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), respectively．Based on the needs of developing countries，AMED and JICA cooperate to promote international joint research targeting global health issues with an objective of future utilization of research outcomes through collaboration with ODA．The aim of the program is to acquire new knowledge and technology that lead to the resolution of global issues and the advance of science and technology，and through this process，to create innovations．International joint research under this program also aims to enhance the research and development capabilities of developing countries，and helps create sustainable research systems able to address and resolve issues．

This program had been led by JICA and Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), however the projects in the field of Infectious Diseases Control have been transferred from JST to AMED because of the establishment of AMED on April 1，2015．
