Applications Open: JPP Project Funding (Fall 2024)

We are pleased to announce that Japan Past & Present is now accepting proposals for its Fall 2024 Project Funding cycle! The Yanai Initiative’s JPP Project Funding program offers short-term support to scholars to create public-facing resources on Japan-related topics (broadly defined) to be published on the JPP website.

Resources may include, but are not limited to, research and pedagogy guides, databases, video series, essays, lesson plans/syllabi, annotated translations, digital resources, or other innovative materials in support of open-access research and teaching. Funding of up to $10,000 may be used to cover the cost of research, writing, and content development by a group of 3-5 individuals for a period of 4 months, along with other mutually agreed-upon expenses.

To read more about the program and to access the application form, please visit the JPP Project Funding section of the website.

While you are here, we hope you will take a moment to create a profile in  Japan Scholar Search, which is a crucial element of JPP's efforts to make visible the global diversity of the Japanese humanities as a field, and to help scholars all around the world, at every stage in their careers, affiliated and independent, to share their knowledge, and create new knowledge together.
