Social Science Research Council--Fellowships for Japan

Japan Studies Dissertation Workshop seeks to create a sustained
    network of advanced graduate students and faculty by providing
    critical feedback prior to and following dissertation fieldwork.
    It also fosters comparative and multi-disciplinary approaches
    to research.
    
    The workshop will take place in early January annually at the
    Asilomar Conference Center in Monterey, California. In most cases, 
    the SSRC will fully cover participants' travel, lodging, and meals 
    for the duration of the workshop.

    Applicants must have an approved dissertation prospectus, but cannot 
    have completed writing for final submission. A narrative description 
    of the dissertation topic and a letter of reference from the student's
    advisor are required as part of the application.

    attention will be given to Japanists who are interested in
