Opportunity Information: Apply for SAPPORO PAS FY22 01 04
The FY2022 U.S. Embassy Tokyo: U.S. Exchange Program on Securing Japan's Research Space (Funding Opportunity Number: SAPPORO PAS FY22 01 04) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State funding opportunity run through the U.S. Mission to Japan, specifically the U.S. Embassy Tokyo Public Affairs Section. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient should expect close coordination and ongoing involvement from the U.S. government during planning and execution, rather than operating entirely independently.
The core purpose of the grant is to support an organization that can design and implement a U.S.-based exchange program for a small delegation of Japanese participants, generally 6 to 10 university and government officials. The exchange is intended to bring these Japanese officials to the United States to meet with American counterparts and subject-matter peers. The program focus is export controls and the prevention of sensitive technology transfer, with an emphasis on strengthening how Japan protects its research environment and reduces vulnerabilities in academic and governmental research spaces. In practical terms, the exchange would likely involve meetings, briefings, and structured discussions with relevant U.S. stakeholders who work on safeguarding research, compliance, and technology protection.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $100,000, and the agency anticipates making one award. The opportunity was created on February 21, 2022, and the application deadline was April 15, 2022, with submissions due by 11:59 pm Japan Standard Time. While the description is concise, the stated intent is clear: fund a single implementer to arrange the end-to-end exchange experience and ensure the delegation has meaningful engagement with U.S. experts and institutions working to prevent improper or high-risk technology transfer.
Eligibility is broad and includes various U.S. and non-U.S. organizational types commonly permitted under Department of State public diplomacy programming. Eligible applicants include state, county, city, township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding those that are institutions of higher education when specified). The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.040, and it is listed under a wide set of activity areas, including science and technology and other research and development, education, business and commerce, information and statistics, and related public policy and capacity-building fields, which aligns with the cross-cutting nature of export control compliance and research security.
Overall, the grant supports a targeted, professional exchange visit designed to deepen U.S.-Japan cooperation on research security by exposing Japanese university and government officials to U.S. practices, policies, and institutional approaches for export controls and preventing the transfer of sensitive technologies.Apply for SAPPORO PAS FY22 01 04
