Research Fellowships in Washington, D.C.
HONOLULU (Jan. 18, 2012) -- The East-West Center has received an initial grant of $93,858 from the Center for Global Partnership at the Japan Foundation – renewable over three years for a total of approximately $281,574 – to support the EWC’s new Japan Studies Fellowship Program. The program will provide three- or six-month research fellowships for scholars and analysts from the United States and Japan to conduct policy-relevant research on issues related to the U.S.-Japan partnership, including economic, diplomatic, politico-security, social, and international topics.
"The new Japan Studies Fellowship, made possible by the generous support of the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership, comes at a critical time,” said Satu Limaye, director of the EWC’s Washington office. “As the U.S. pays more attention to Asia, the United States-Japan alliance is a bedrock for other initiatives and activities. With this Fellowship, the East-West Center is able to bring specialists on issues of relevance to the overall U.S.-Japan relationship to Washington to interact with the policy and expert community and publish policy-relevant work--building a new network of rising specialists who will engage and act to further the U.S.-Japan partnership."
The research fellows will be in residence at the East-West Center’s Washington, D.C. office, where they will write articles or a monograph to be considered for publication.
Applications must be received by March 15, 2012. Applicants will be notified of selection decisions by April 13. Click here for application instructions and program details.
