Opportunity Information: Apply for TOKYO PAS FY24 03
The FY2024 U.S. Embassy Tokyo grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: TOKYO PAS FY24 03) is a competitive, discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Mission to Japan under the U.S. Department of State. It is designed to support a single organization in planning and implementing a media study tour to deepen Japanese journalists understanding of trilateral security cooperation. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects to be actively involved in the program design, coordination, and oversight rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to organize a structured study tour for Japanese members of the media, with programming focused on trilateral security cooperation. While the public notice does not list specific destinations, partners, or session topics, the stated intent is clear: to expose participating journalists to substantive briefings, expert perspectives, and relevant institutions that can improve the accuracy, depth, and context of their reporting on trilateral security issues. In practice, a project like this usually includes meetings with government officials, policy experts, academic specialists, and potentially site visits or roundtables that help participants understand current policy approaches, historical context, and the strategic rationale behind cooperation among three partners.
Funding is capped at USD 85,000 (the award ceiling), and the Embassy anticipates making one award total, meaning applicants are competing for a single funded slot. The opportunity falls under CFDA 19.040, which is commonly associated with public diplomacy programs that advance mutual understanding and strengthen engagement between the United States and foreign publics. Because this is a public diplomacy-style program, proposals are generally expected to demonstrate a clear program plan, strong logistical capacity, relevant networks, and an ability to deliver professional programming for journalists while meeting U.S. government requirements for accountability and reporting.
Eligible applicants are broad and include U.S. and non-U.S. entities that fit the listed categories: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status; nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status; and other eligible entities. This range suggests the Embassy is open to proposals from universities, think tanks, nonprofit organizations, and other institutions with demonstrated experience running international exchanges, media engagement programs, or security-policy related convenings. The public notice also references public international organizations and government institutions, reinforcing that established, mission-driven implementers with institutional credibility are especially relevant for this type of project.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on March 13, 2024, and the application deadline (original closing date) is May 15, 2024. Since the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect that the Embassy may want to collaborate on elements such as participant selection approach, itinerary themes, speaker choices, and messaging objectives, and may require periodic updates or approvals during implementation. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," which often indicates the program does not fit neatly into a single thematic bucket beyond its public diplomacy and exchange character, even though the subject matter here is clearly tied to security cooperation and strategic communications.
In summary, this grant is aimed at selecting one capable implementing organization to run a focused media study tour for Japanese journalists centered on trilateral security cooperation, with up to $85,000 in support from the U.S. Embassy Tokyo. The strongest applications would typically be those that show a coherent tour concept, credible subject-matter programming, detailed logistical planning, a thoughtful approach to engaging journalists as a target audience, and the organizational capacity to manage a U.S. government-funded exchange program under cooperative agreement conditions.Apply for TOKYO PAS FY24 03
