Opportunity Information: Apply for TOKYO PAS FY22 01 22
The Bilateral Policy Dialogue to Counter Disinformation - U.S.-Japan Think Tank Collaboration is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of State through U.S. Embassy Tokyo (U.S. Mission to Japan). The program is designed to support projects that bring U.S. and Japanese think tank communities into closer collaboration to raise awareness about disinformation and to strengthen practical efforts to counter it. In essence, the opportunity is aimed at creating structured policy dialogue and joint work between U.S. and Japan stakeholders who can analyze disinformation trends, share research, and develop coordinated approaches that improve public understanding and policy responses.
The funding opportunity number is TOKYO PAS FY22 01 22, and it was created on February 17, 2022, with an original application deadline of April 15, 2022. Awards are issued as grants, and the activity category is listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, which signals an interest in evidence-based approaches, research-driven outputs, and potentially the development or testing of methods for identifying, analyzing, and responding to disinformation. The CFDA/assistance listing number associated with this opportunity is 19.040.
In terms of scale, the maximum funding per award (the award ceiling) is $70,000, and the embassy anticipated making up to three awards. That combination suggests relatively focused projects rather than large multi-year initiatives, with an emphasis on achievable outcomes such as convenings, published analysis, comparative studies, policy briefs, stakeholder engagement, or collaborative frameworks that can be implemented within a modest budget.
Eligibility is open to several common categories of education and nonprofit entities. Applicants may include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). This mix of eligible applicants makes it possible for universities, university-affiliated research centers, and independent policy organizations to compete, including those with established networks in the United States and Japan and the capacity to run dialogue-based programming and produce credible research outputs.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a U.S.-Japan public diplomacy and policy collaboration effort focused on countering disinformation through think tank engagement. The core intent is to strengthen awareness and resilience by supporting cross-border exchange among experts and institutions that influence public debate and policymaking, with projects expected to translate research and dialogue into actionable insights and practical strategies for recognizing and responding to disinformation.Apply for TOKYO PAS FY22 01 22
