Grant Activity: Conduct research in applicant's area of specialization. Proposals must be feasible with respect to the applicant's qualifications and language abilities as well as time frame. It is expected that the research will result in a tangible product appropriate to the grantee's particular field of journalism (e.g., a series of articles, a television program, a series of radio stories on some facet of Japan). The product should be described in some detail in the project statement. During the grant period, grantees are welcome to generate periodic articles or reports, but they are not allowed to serve as a regular correspondent for either a U.S. employer or, if there is one, their Japanese affiliation.
