About this program
The Japan-US Friendship Commission funds educational, intellectual, artistic, and cultural exchange and research between Japan and the United States (CFDA 90.300); the most recent grant award was made on September 28, 2016, and the program has not posted a new opportunity since then.
Program activity has stalled. The Commission awarded 73 grants totaling $3.6 million from 2011 through September 2016, with a sharp surge in 2015 and 2016 (20 and 32 awards respectively) followed by no recorded awards in the past decade. The portfolio is predominantly Project Grants (89 percent of awards), with a smaller share of Block Grants (10 percent) and one Formula Grant. The Japan-US Friendship Commission is the sole funder across all awards. Award magnitudes ranged widely, from $3,910 to $256,800, with most recent awards clustering between $10,000 and $113,450. Representative recent awards funded student and faculty exchanges (Kai Yama cross-cultural environmental science exchange, $42,424), legislative and congressional staff exchange programs (US Congressional Staff Exchange Program in Japan, $70,000), Japanese language instruction (Advanced Japanese Language Training, $75,000), and cultural programming (The Japan-Studies Institute Japan Seminar, $70,000; U.S.-Japan Space Security Forum, $64,500). Academic and nonprofit recipients predominate in the award record.
Eligible applicants are public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and private institutions of higher education. Project periods typically run six months to eighteen months. The Commission has historically accepted proposals with an August 1 annual deadline and announced decisions approximately six weeks after submission; however, the absence of awards since September 2016 and no posted opportunities suggest the program may not be actively accepting new proposals. The Commission maintains guidance at www.jusfc.gov.
