What the grant funds
U.S. Embassy Tokyo’s Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out its U.S. Speakers’ Program. The Speakers’ Program brings dynamic U.S. citizen experts to Japan to engage professional and student audiences throughout the country on topics of strategic importance to the United States and Japan. Specifically, the program seeks to influence local audiences on regional security, boosting PhD STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education in Japan, cybersecurity, climate and security issues, diversity, equity and inclusion, advancing women’s economic empowerment, supply chain protection, and research integrity through the shared knowledge, expertise and know-how of U.S. experts. The program also seeks to establish concrete networking and contact-building opportunities among U.S. experts and local audiences. Programs may take place in person or virtually (note: due to COVID travel restrictions, all applications should include a plan for virtual engagement).
