Applicants are advised to take such mid- to long-term prospects into account when formulating their project proposals.

  1. Movements of people (refugees, migrants, human trafficking)
  2. Peace building (includes confidence building)
  3. International medical cooperation in such areas as infectious disease
  4. Resources management

• Details: n 2008, the Toyota Foundation Research Grant Program will focus on "Revitalizing Local Communities Under Globalization." The foundation solicits proposals for cross-disciplinary survey and basic research projects that are firmly oriented toward problem resolution and have the potential to posit answers to the question of whether, amid the tide of globalization, local communities can harness their latent vitality by flexibly restructuring themselves while actively reevaluating their relationships with the state and the international community.

  Rather than short-term prescriptions, the Toyota Foundation hopes to receive proposals that take a broad perspective by addressing key questions for the near future, such as the direction in which communities should seek to move Japan and the international community and, at the same time, how communities can redefine their relationships with the Japanese state and the world at large. This is based on the foundation's belief that it is almost impossible for a closed or isolated community to survive in today's world.

  The Toyota Foundation suggests that projects address the following research topics:
  1. Human resources development
  2. Institutional change
  3. Creation and recreation of symbols and culture
  4. New capital flows
  5. Forming bases for community restructuring
  6. New flows of human resources

  The topics are listed in no particular order, and proposals that address multiple topics are welcome. It is not a problem if a project does not belong to one of the fields listed, provided it has a convincing connection to the aims of the program as described above.



• Keywords: Community Development or Revitalization; Cultural Diversity; Environmental Sciences; Global Change; Globalization; Human Resources
  Science - Humanistic Emphasis; Science and Society; Social Change; Social Organization; Social Structures

• Fund Type: Grant. Residential: No. Eligibility: Unrestricted/Multiple Eligibility; Applications are accepted regardless of nationality, gender, educational background, etc. Applicants must, however, have a certain level of project management ability (such as schedule management, cultivation of a common approach to problems within the project team, coordination of team members' roles, and communication with the foundation).

  .



• Award: The maximum grant amount is 10 million yen, to be disbursed for a one- or two-year project, and the total budget for research grants is 20 million yen.


• Deadline: 5/10/2008


• Details: The central issues addressed by this Toyota Foundation program are what kinds of culture have been created through cross-border collaboration at the private-sector level in the maritime region of East Asia, which is the historical artery of exchange in East Asia, and how to promote the creation of such culture through cross-border collaboration from now on. Maritime East Asia is provisionally defined as the area of sea surrounded by coastal areas of China, the Korean Peninsula, Japan, and the maritime region of the Russian Far East. The decision not to cite a name for this area was taken because the name of this sea is already the subject of political conflict among East Asian countries.

  As an experimental endeavor, the foundation has decided to give priority to projects that plan to produce and announce their results in the form of video media. This is because results in video form are easy to disseminate to the international community.

  The foundation solicits proposals for cross-disciplinary survey research projects that are firmly oriented toward problem resolution and address the issues of what kinds of culture has been created by cross-border collaboration and how to promote cross-border cultural creation from now on.

  The Toyota Foundation suggests the following kinds of projects:
  1. Discovery and analysis of instances in which cross-border collaboration in maritime East Asia has created culture with significant international appeal (Please indicate the connection between any historical examples you address and an issue in the modern day.)
  2. Experiments ("action research") or proposals aimed at enhancing the mechanisms by which cross-border collaboration in maritime East Asia such as that described above is translated into the creation of appealing culture
  3. Project teams should include people engaged in practical work related to the production and distribution of culture, such as people involved in cultural industries, nongovernmental organization (NGO) staff, journalists, and government officials. The involvement of practitioners enables a project to make use of the firsthand information they possess and to produce project results that can be conveyed to other practitioners.
  4. Project teams should have an international membership.
