Research Travel Grants
This page is an archive of a grant program that is no longer active due to lack of funding. From 2018 to 2023 21JPSI had funding available to support IU faculty wishing to travel to Japan to conduct research on topics within the Initiative's aegis. This grant program is on hold indefinitely. A list of past grant recipients is available here.
Basic Award Criteria
- All competitive research proposals will focus on issues directly relevant to the research component of 21JPSI's mission: supporting policy-relevant research on contemporary U.S. - Japan relations, Japanese politics, and/or other domestic challenges facing Japanese leaders and civil society.
- The Steering Committee will make its decisions based on the proposed research project's relevance to 21JPSI's mission, the importance to the project of travel to Japan, and the originality and significance of the proposed research.
- All Indiana University faculty are eligible; however, no faculty member may receive an award two years in-a-row.
Calls for applications will be promoted through relevant HLS mailing lists (esp. the East Asian Studies Center).
