The Japan Foundation invites individuals and organizations that are planning international exchange projects and activities to participate in programs of the Japan Foundation. The Japan Foundation carries out its programs and activities in the three major areas of Art and Cultural Exchange, Japanese-Language Education Overseas, Japanese Studies Overseas and Intellectual Exchange, as well as Strengthening the Cultural Exchange in Asia. Successful applicants are provided with grants, research scholarships, Japanese-language training programs, and other forms of support.

The Japan Foundation Program Guidelines for Fiscal Year 2015 (April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016) outline the full array of the Japan Foundation's applicable programs. Access the guidelines at http://www.jpf.go.jp/e/program/index.html

Another program is the Exhibitions Abroad Support Program, which is designed to provide financial assistance to exhibitions introducing Japanese art and culture to audiences outside of Japan.

Also open for applications is the Institutional Project Support Program, which is designed to encourage innovative and sustained growth of Japanese studies in the United States. Each institution should formulate convincing proposals that enhance the teaching of Japan, the quality of research on Japan, the quality of equipment and materials (including libraries), and provide opportunities for students and faculty to travel to Japan. The deadline for this program is rapidly approaching (November 3). Learn more at http://www.jfny.org/japanese_studies/institutionalsupport.html
