Japanese Studies and Global Partnerships Grants
The Japan Foundation offers two types of grants to support scholars and related institutions whose projects involve Japan.
Major Grants have one application round per year (see timeline below) and are administered in collaboration with the Japan Foundation Head Office. These are designed to support medium- to large-scale initiatives such as conferences, symposia or projects requiring in-country research.
Mini Grants are administered locally, and have no fixed application round. Applications are accepted up to 1 month prior to project commencement until funding allocations are exhausted. Mini Grants are designed to support small-scale projects such as workshops or lectures by visiting scholars.
