Communication and Public Opinion Grants, United States-Japan Foundation

Since 1980, the Foundation has supported a variety of projects that seek to enhance communication and mutual understanding between the American and Japanese people. The Foundation will consider communication / public opinion projects that not only raise awareness about Japan in the US and/or US in Japan, but also deal with concrete issues that affect the bilateral relationship (or are faced by the two nations). As foreign policy increasingly is subject to public opinion (and is often influenced by non-governmental actors), there is a need in both countries for increased and more diversified coverage of international news and current events, as well as strong links between certain non-government organizations (NGOs) to enhance bilateral and multilateral cooperation. Projects on print media, broadcast media, polling/public opinion research, and the internet are encouraged. Submission dates are for letters of inquiry. Full proposals are by invitation only.

Through these teachers, as well as through a variety of curriculum materials, Web-based collaborative activities, and partnerships between U.S. and Japanese schools, tens of thousands of young people in both countries have begun to study and understand their mutual connections and the importance of the friendship and partnership that binds their two nations so closely. USJF continues to build upon its past successes and support innovative new programs at the pre-college level in both the United States and Japan.
