Description

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Division of Research Programs is accepting applications for the Fellowships for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan program. The goals of the program are to promote Japan studies in the United States, encourage U.S.- Japanese scholarly exchange, and foster the next generation of Japan scholars in the U.S. Awards support research and writing on modern Japanese society and political economy, Japan's international relations, and U.S.-Japan relations. These fellowships are intended for individual researchers with advanced Japanese language skills whose research will require using data, sources, documents, onsite interviews, or other direct contact in Japanese. Fellows may undertake their projects in Japan, the United States, or both, and may include work in other countries for comparative purposes. The program is a joint activity of the Japan-United States Friendship Commission (JUSFC) and NEH.
