in cooperation with the Social Science Research
Council (SSRC) to nurture a community of researchers
interested in playing an active role in the bilateral
and global research network.
Fellowship proposals focus on research in the
social sciences or humanities relevant to one
or a combination of the following themes: US-
Japan relations, problems common to industrialized and industrializing societies, and global issues

This program offers training
opportunities for young Japanese security specialists
with a Ph.D. or an equivalent level of professional
experience. Over the course of two years, they
participate in monthly research seminars and receive
research guidance from the Program Directors.
The Japan Outreach Initiative
(JOI) aims to promote awareness and understanding
of Japan in regions of the United States with
relatively few Japan-related activities and opportunities
for exchange and to nurture new leaders in the
field of grassroots exchange. Japanese individuals,
placed mainly in the southern states, volunteer
for two years as outreach coordinators at organizations
such as Japan America societies and universities.
The NPO fellowship aims to
nurture leaders within the Japanese nonprofit
sector who will contribute to the building of
the sector’s foundation and serve as a bridge
between the United States and Japan.
