Opportunity Information: Apply for TOKYO PAS FY22 01 07
The FY2022 U.S. Embassy Tokyo: U.S.-Japan Bilateral Youth Programs opportunity is a discretionary funding competition run by the Public Affairs Section at U.S. Mission Japan (Department of State). It funds projects that are specifically built to engage Japanese youth and strengthen their understanding of the U.S.-Japan relationship, including the practical and societal roles that U.S.-Japan bilateral corporations play, as well as broader U.S. values. The core idea is not general cultural exchange for its own sake, but programming that helps young people better grasp how the alliance and the bilateral partnership function and why they matter, using structured activities and content that are clearly tied to U.S.-Japan relations.
Funded projects are expected to prioritize direct engagement between Japanese and American youth, which can be delivered in person, virtually, or through a hybrid model. Proposals should be designed, managed, and administered by the applicant, meaning the award supports end-to-end program delivery rather than only isolated events or travel support. The Embassy is looking for programs that either create meaningful interaction between youth from both countries or, at minimum, place strong emphasis on U.S.-Japan relations topics aligned with the Mission's priorities for Japanese youth. A key restriction is that cultural exchanges and study-abroad style programs will not be considered if they do not give significant weight to U.S.-Japan relations; in other words, proposals need a clear substantive policy, civic, or bilateral relations component rather than a primarily cultural or tourism-like exchange.
The funding instrument types offered are grants and cooperative agreements, which typically means applicants should be prepared for active coordination with the Embassy, especially under a cooperative agreement structure. The activity categories listed include community development, education, and an additional "other" category as described in the full notice. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.040 and is administered by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Japan.
In terms of scale, the award ceiling is $100,000, and the Embassy anticipated making about four awards. Eligible applicants are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories), individuals, and other entity types as further clarified in the eligibility section of the full announcement. The opportunity was created on February 22, 2022, with an original application deadline of April 15, 2022, under funding opportunity number TOKYO PAS FY22 01 07.Apply for TOKYO PAS FY22 01 07
