Universities Canadian Tanaka Fund Grant to Support Promising Junior Japanese Studies Scholars (Canada) 2023

We are delighted to announce the opening of submissions for the Tanaka Fund Grant to Support Promising Junior Japanese Studies Scholars in 2023. This competition will be determined by the Covid-19 epidemic and any travel restrictions imposed by the Canadian or Japanese governments.

The Tanaka Fund was founded in 1974 as a result of a gift exchange between the Canadian and Japanese governments. Canada offered Japan $1 million to encourage Canadian studies at Japanese universities, while Japan contributed $300 million yen to improve Japanese studies in Canadian institutions. The monies were utilized to create the Japan Foundation Trust Fund for the Promotion of Japanese Studies in Canadian Universities.

The Japan Foundation established guidelines stating that the Trust Fund would be managed as an endowment and that the revenue would be used to support and promote Japanese studies in Canadian universities and colleges. Since 1975, Universities Canada has managed the Fund.

Support for Japanese language lectureships at Canadian universities was supported till 2016. The Tanaka Fund was reformed in 2018 to focus on young emerging researchers, fostering the next generation of Japanese Studies study in Canada.
