The Yanai Initiative’s JPP - Project Funding

This program offers short-term support to scholars to create public-facing resources on Japan-related topics (broadly defined) to be published on the JPP website. Resources may include, but are not limited to, research and pedagogy guides, databases, video series, essays, lesson plans/syllabi, annotated translations, digital resources, or other innovative materials in support of open-access research and teaching.

Funding of up to $10,000 may be used to cover the cost of research, writing, and content development by a group of 3-5 individuals for a period of 4 months, along with other mutually agreed-upon expenses. Team members will typically be expected to dedicate approximately 3-4 hours a week during their 4-month term. For reference, work on JPP-initiated projects is compensated at a rate of $30 an hour. We recognize that institutional policies and differences in prevailing wages in different localities around the world, as well as exchange rates, may affect the amounts that teams budget. In the case of larger projects, teams may, after showing appropriate progress, apply for a 4-month extension. If more than 5 people are desired on a Project Team, applicants must provide proof of complementary funding from an outside source. The number of projects accepted each application cycle may vary.
