Australia-Japan Foundation Grant Program

Overview

Australia-Japan Foundation (AJF) grants are intended to provide seed funding for innovative proposals relevant to the aims and objectives of the AJF. This includes proposals which demonstrate the potential for the development of long-term links between individuals and institutions in Australia and their counterparts in Japan.

The Australia-Japan Foundation invites applications for projects in 2011-12 which support its objectives to:

-increase understanding in Japan of shared interests with Australia;
-increase understanding in Australia of the importance of Japan to Australia as an economic and strategic partner; and
-increase recognition in Japan of Australian excellence and expertise.

In 2011-12, funding priority will be given to projects and programs that strengthen Australia’s relationship with Japan through people-to-people engagement across a diverse range of sectors. These include projects relating to the bilateral economic and trade relationship (particularly the Australia-Japan Free Trade Agreement), regional and international security issues, society and culture, education, science and technology and to advocacy, media and communications.


Themes of the AJF for 2011-12 are:

Economics and Trade
Security, Regional and International Relations
Education and Science
Society and Culture
Communication, Information and Advocacy

Eligibility

Individuals, organisations or a collaboration of both may apply for AJF grant funding. Where a conflict of interest exists, or may be perceived to exist, the AJF Secretariat should be contacted to clarify eligibility and/or obligations under Commonwealth conflict of interest guidelines.

Generally, the AJF does not fund projects over more than two successive years. The AJF Secretariat should be contacted to clarify eligibility if you have previously received an AJF grant.

If you have submitted an application in a previous AJF grant funding round but have been unsuccessful, you are encouraged to reapply for funding in future rounds.

No person or organisation may hold more than one AJF grant at any given time.

Grants will not be provided to individuals or organisations that have failed to provide a proper acquittal of an earlier grant provided by the AJF.

How to Apply

All applicants must complete the AJF Online Funding Application Form in full and provide all mandatory requested documentation. Applications must also be in English. Applications that do not meet this minimum requirement will be deemed ineligible.

Applications must be received by the deadline specified in the advertisement of the grants round. The AJF has no obligation to consider applications received after the specified submission period.

In exceptional circumstances, applications received outside of the normal grant funding rounds may be considered by the AJF on an ad-hoc basis at its discretion and subject to available AJF funds.

Applications must be submitted using the AJF Online Funding Application Form. Applications should only be sent by fax or mail after consultation with the AJF Secretariat.

Preparing Your Application

Please ensure you have:

Completed all mandatory fields on the application form.
Attached two references that demonstrate an established record of achievement in the development and management of projects relevant to the proposed area of endeavour. Where possible, referees should comment on:

their relationship to the applicant;
their involvement or interest, if any, in the project;
the project's objectives and the strategies to achieve them; and
the applicant's ability to complete the project and to administer project funds.

Clearly demonstrated how your proposal meets the objectives of the AJF.

Made adequate provision for all likely expenses. The AJF will not normally consider requests for supplementary funding.

Applicants should be aware that AJF Board members may not be familiar with individuals or organisations or the field of proposed activity. As the AJF Board's decision will be based on the information provided, applicants should ensure all information provided is accurate, clear and comprehensive.

The closing time for the lodgement of applications is 10.00 pm (AEST) Friday 18 March 2011. No late applications will be accepted.


Enquiries may be directed to the AJF Secretariat on (02) 6261 3898 (Australia) or 81-3-5232-4065 (Japan) or to the AJF emails (ajf.australia@dfat.gov.au and ajf.japan@dfat.gov.au).
