Since the establishment of CGP in 1991, the rapid acceleration of globalization has deepened interdependence among nations, expanded economic transactions, and enhanced collaborative undertakings in diverse fields. It has also given rise to a multiplicity of actors on the international scene; not only sovereign governments but also a host of non-state-actors including the business sector, academia, non-profit organizations and other segments of civil society.

These changes have affected the nature and scope of the agenda on which Japan and the United States should enhance their collaboration.

CGP intends to support projects in the areas listed below.

TARGET AREAS

  1. Traditional and non-traditional approaches to security and diplomacy;
  2. Global and regional economic issues;
  3. Role of civil society.

With an emphasis on academic/intellectual excellence and national and international public consequence, CGP’s grant program supports policy-oriented projects conducted by an array of institutions from the United States and Japan, including non-profit organizations, universities, and think tanks as well as policymakers, scholars, and educators, with a view to creating new networks and providing opportunities for advancing research and candid discussion of these issues.

Within the mandate of enhancing Japan-U.S. collaboration, CGP recognizes the value of including a multinational dimension within projects, and gives priority to those that incorporate Asia into its agenda.

Applicants are requested to submit letters of inquiry for CGP consideration, 2-3 pages minimum, prior to the submission of a formal proposal. Full proposals must be received by Tuesday, December 1, 2009.
