The Abe Fellowship is designed to encourage international 
multidisciplinary research on topics of pressing global concern. The 
program, funded by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership, 
seeks to foster the development of a new generation of researchers who 
are interested in policy-relevant topics of long-range importance and 
who are willing to become key members of a bilateral and global research 
network built around such topics.


The Abe Fellowship Research Agenda

Applicants are invited to submit proposals for research in the social 
sciences and related fields relevant to any one or a combination of the 
following three themes:

• Traditional and Non-Traditional Approaches to Security and Diplomacy
Topic areas include transnational terrorism, internal ethnic and 
religious strife, infectious diseases, food safety, climate change, and 
non-proliferation, as well as the role of cultural initiatives in 
peacebuilding.

• Global and Regional Economic Issues
Topic areas include regional and bilateral trade agreements, 
international financial stability, globalization and the mitigation of 
its adverse consequences, sustainable urbanization, and environmental 
degradation.

• Social and Cultural Issues
Topic areas include demographic change, immigration, the role of civil 
society and media as champions of the public interest, social 
enterprise, corporate social responsibility, and revitalization of 
multicultural urban areas.

Research projects should be policy-relevant, contemporary, and 
comparative or transnational.


Benefits

The terms of the fellowship are flexible and designed to meet the needs 
of Japanese and American researchers at different stages in their 
careers. The program provides Abe Fellows with a minimum of 3 and 
maximum of 12 months of full-time support over a 24-month period. 
Part-time residence abroad in the United States or Japan is required.


Eligibility

This competition is open to citizens of the United States and Japan as 
well as to nationals of other countries who can demonstrate strong and 
serious long-term affiliations with research communities in Japan or the 
United States. Applicants must have a PhD (or the terminal degree in 
their field) or equivalent professional experience at the time of 
application. Applications from researchers in professions other than 
academia are encouraged.
