Opportunity Summary:
The Fellowships for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan is a discretionary grant program run jointly by the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission (JUSFC) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It funds individual researchers doing advanced, humanities-oriented social science work focused on modern Japanese society and political economy, Japan's international relations, and U.S.-Japan relations. A major emphasis is on projects that are contemporary and comparative, and that place Japan-related topics into broader regional or global contexts rather than treating them in isolation. The expected payoff is 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 program is open to individual applicants (not institutions) and supports work across a wide range of relevant disciplines, including anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, linguistics, political science, psychology, public administration, and sociology. The kinds of research products that typically result include peer-reviewed articles, monographs and books, digital scholarly resources, archaeological site reports, translations, annotated editions, and other materials that contribute to the humanities and social science knowledge base.
A distinguishing feature of these fellowships is the expectation that recipients have advanced language skills and a clear need to use non-English materials or conduct in-person research. In practice, that means projects should require working directly with data, sources, and documents in their original languages and/or conducting onsite interviews through direct, one-on-one contact. Fellows can carry out their work in Japan, in the United States, or in both locations, and they may also include research in additional countries when a comparative approach strengthens the project. The announcement notes that projects may be at any stage of development, which can accommodate everything from early exploratory research through later-stage writing and synthesis.
From the published opportunity details, the funding opportunity number is 20130501 FO and it falls under the humanities activity category (CFDA 45.160, Promotion of the Humanities: Fellowships and Stipends). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The maximum award amount listed is $50,400, with no specified minimum (award floor $0). For this cycle, the opportunity was posted February 15, 2013, with an application deadline of May 1, 2013, and an archive date of May 31, 2013. The primary agency contact is NEH's Division of Research Programs (Room 318, 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20506; phone 202-606-8200; email fellowships@neh.gov). Additional program information was provided through the NEH webpage for this fellowship line.
