Fellowships: Advanced Social Science Research on Japan: The Fellowship Program for Advanced Social Science Research on Japan is a joint activity of the Japan-US Friendship Commission and the National Endowment for the Humanities. It supports research on the modern Japanese political economy, international relations and society, and on US-Japan relations. The program also encourages innovative research that puts these subjects in wider regional and global contexts and is comparative and contemporary in nature. Research should contribute to scholarly knowledge or to the general public's understanding of the humanities. Disciplines include: anthropology, economics, geography, history, international relations, linguistics, political science, psychology, public administration, and sociology. The fellowships are designed for researchers with advanced language skills whose research will require use of data, sources, and documents in their original languages or collected through interviews onsite in direct one-on-one contact. Fellows may undertake their projects in Japan, the United States, or both, and may include work in other countries for comparative purposes.
