Opportunity Summary:
Fellowships for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan is a discretionary grant program run by the National Endowment for the Humanities in partnership with the Japan U.S. Friendship Commission. It funds advanced, humanities-oriented social science research focused on modern Japanese society and political economy, Japan's international relations, and U.S.-Japan relations. A central aim is to support work that is contemporary and comparative, and that places Japan-related questions in broader regional and global contexts. The program is meant to generate research that strengthens scholarly knowledge and/or improves the general public's understanding of issues that matter to both Japan and the United States.
The opportunity is open to individual applicants rather than institutions, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. Funded projects can sit at any stage of development, which makes the fellowship flexible for applicants who are just beginning a major study as well as those who are completing a book manuscript, building a digital resource, or preparing publishable findings from earlier fieldwork. The fellowship is explicitly geared toward researchers with advanced language skills, especially when the project depends on using data, sources, and documents in their original languages, or when it requires on-the-ground interviews conducted through direct, one-on-one contact.
Supported fields span a wide range of social science and humanities-adjacent disciplines, including anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, linguistics, political science, psychology, public administration, and sociology. Typical outcomes include peer-reviewed articles, monographs and books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, scholarly editions, and other resources that can serve researchers, students, and the wider public.
Fellows may carry out their work in Japan, the United States, or both, and the program also allows research travel to other countries when it is needed for comparative purposes. For the specific cycle described in the announcement, applications were due April 30, 2015 (posted February 18, 2015). Award amounts ranged from $25,200 to $50,400. The funding opportunity number is 20150430 FO, and the CFDA listing is 45.160 (Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends).
