CGP Grant Program Guidelines

A brief synopsis of the guidelines
 
The rapid acceleration of globalization has deepened interdependence among nations, expanded economic transactions, and enhanced collaborative undertakings in diverse fields. It has also given rise to a multiplicity of actors on the international scene; not only sovereign governments but also a host of non-state actors including the business sector, academia, non-profit organizations, and other segments of civil society.
 
CGP intends to fulfill its mission by creating new networks and providing opportunities for advancing research and candid discussion of issues arising from this profound transformation of societies. To this end, CGP’s Grant Program supports Japan-U.S. collaborative policy-oriented projects in the target areas listed below. In addition, CGP recognizes the value of including a multinational dimension within projects, and therefore gives priority to those that incorporate Asia into its agenda.
   
1. Traditional & non-traditional approaches to security and diplomacy
Issues include transnational terrorism, internal ethnic and religious strife, infectious diseases, environmental degradation, and climate change. 
  
2. Global and regional economic issues
Issues include regional and bilateral trade arrangements, globalization and the mitigation of its adverse consequences with the active participation of the business sector, and sustainable urbanization.
 
3. Role of civil society
Issues include immigration and achieving balance in increasingly diverse societies as well as capacity building of civil society actors through various networking opportunities.
