Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS TOKYO FY24 APS01
The U.S. Embassy Tokyo Public Affairs Section (PAS), part of the U.S. Department of State, is offering funding through its Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program under an Annual Program Statement titled "U.S. Embassy Tokyo PAS Annual Program Statement" (Funding Opportunity Number PAS-Tokyo-FY24-APS01). This opportunity supports public diplomacy efforts designed to strengthen cultural ties between the United States and Japan. The embassy is looking for programs that use cultural and exchange programming to highlight shared values, deepen mutual understanding, and encourage practical bilateral cooperation. A core requirement is that each proposal includes a clear American cultural element or a meaningful connection to the United States, such as involvement from U.S. experts, U.S. organizations, or U.S. institutions in a relevant field, with the aim of increasing understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives.
The total funding available under this notice is $400,000, with individual awards capped at $100,000. The embassy anticipates making about five awards, depending on the quality of proposals and available funds. Awards may be issued as grants or cooperative agreements, meaning the level of U.S. government involvement can vary; in cooperative agreements, the embassy generally has a more active role in shaping or overseeing implementation compared with a standard grant. The funding is tied to CFDA number 19.040, which covers Public Diplomacy Programs, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with details to be explained in the full notice.
Applications are due by September 30, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Japan Standard Time. The opportunity was posted on October 25, 2023, and remains open until the stated deadline as part of the annual program statement format, which is meant to provide applicants with a standing set of priorities and instructions for submitting proposals over the program period. Applicants are directed to consult the full Notice of Funding Opportunity in the related documents and follow the instructions carefully, since formatting, required attachments, evaluation criteria, and compliance requirements are typically addressed in that full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than universities), individuals, and other eligible entities as further clarified in the notice. In practical terms, this means proposals can come from universities, nonprofit organizations, independent practitioners, or other groups capable of carrying out U.S.-Japan cultural or exchange programming, as long as the project aligns with PAS Tokyo priorities and incorporates a credible U.S. connection. The main theme across the announcement is using people-to-people engagement and cultural programming to reinforce U.S.-Japan ties while presenting an American component that supports understanding of U.S. viewpoints and policy perspectives.Apply for PAS TOKYO FY24 APS01
