| |
| What kinds of project does this programme support? |
| This program supports projects that address issues affecting the Asia-Pacific region. Projects do not necessarily need to include a specific focus on Japan, however, priority will be given to projects that include Japanese participation. |
| |
| My project is a collaboration between Japan and Australia. Is it eligible? |
| Projects covered by this grant should include significant participation from a number of countries in Asia and Oceania, and should not be limited to bilateral exchange. Projects involving participants from various countries are given higher priority. |
| |
| How much of my project’s expenses will be covered by the grant? |
| This grant covers partial expenses only. In principle, the Japan Foundation will not fund more than half the total costs of any project, and it is expected that a substantial part of the funding will be provided by the applying institution and/or other sources. |
| |
| Will the grant cover salaries for staff, including assistants, and office running costs? |
| This grant does not provide any funds for staff salaries, or for office expenses including, but not limited to, telephone and fax charges. Honoraria may be provided for assistants and invitees in certain circumstances. |
| |
| My project will take place in April or May. If my application is successful, will I receive the grant funds in time? |
| Results of all applications are released in late April, with funding generally not available until two months after that. For this reason, we recommend that applicants either:(a) consider not scheduling important project activities during the first few months of the grant period; or(b) be prepared to use other funds for initial expenses, and be reimbursed once funds from the Japan Foundation have been received. |
