AWARDS BY OUTSIDE BODIES

Japan Foundation Endowment Committee

RESEARCH GRANTS IN JAPANESE STUDIES

Applications are invited for small grants in support of research projects intrinsically related to the academic subject of Japanese Studies. Awards are tenable only in degree-awarding institutions in the UK. Applicants must be members of staff of such institutions; applications may not be made directly by students, and coursework cannot be funded. Research grants are unlikely to exceed £5,000, and most will be substantially smaller.

DAIWA RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS IN JAPANESE STUDIES

Two postgraduate Research Studentships are available from September 2000, funded by the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation and administered by the Japan Foundation Endowment Committee. The awards are open to British or Japanese nationals who will be entering UK institutions of higher education in September 2000 to start full-time programmes intended to lead to Ph.D. or D.Phil. Degrees in Japanese Studies. 'Japanese Studies' is interpreted broadly as covering research on any aspect of Japan within the humanities or social sciences (which may include comparative studies). The awards are available for one year in the first instance, and are renewable for up to two further years, subject to satisfactory annual progress reviews. Each award is for a fixed amount of £10,000 a year (subject only to an appropriate increase to take account of any liability to the overseas rate of tuition fee).

In each case, further particulars and application forms may be obtained from the Executive Secretary, Japan Foundation Endowment Committee, c/o University of Sheffield, Corporate Planning Office, Firth Court, Sheffield, S10 2TN (tel. 0114 2221055, fax 0114 2761971, e-mail jfec@sheffield.ac.uk). The closing date for applications is Wednesday, 26 April 2000.
