DESCRIPTION:Deadline submission: 2 January 2017\nDate: March – September 2017\nVenue: Washington\, D.C.\, United State of America\nOrganizer: The East-West Center (EWC) \nThe East-West Center (EWC) accepts applications from scholars and analysts who wish to undertake research and writing on topics of relevance to contemporary US-Asia policy. We are particularly interested in proposals regarding key challenges in U.S.-Asia relations and possible responses and approaches to addressing those challenges. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: competing economic initiatives in Asia\, regional institutions as well as sustaining U.S. alliances and partnerships. \nThe fellowship finances residencies for a period of three months at the East-West Center in Washington in Washington\, D.C. Exceptional proposals that justify six months will be considered if funds and space allow. While in residence\, the fellows will complete an article or monograph to be considered for publication such as the Asia Pacific Issues series or the Policy Studies series. Selected participants must also publish at least one Asia Pacific Bulletin. The first full draft of the Asia Pacific Issues series or the Policy Studies series manuscript should be completed before the end of the residency period. Fellows must also give a public seminar on their topic. Alternative formats for the publication or public presentation may be considered on an individual basis\, but must be approved by the director of the EWC in Washington. \nThe fellowship includes a monthly stipend of US$2\,500 to $5\,000 (dependent upon experience) while in residence at EWC in Washington\, round trip economy airfare to Washington\, D.C.\, and reimbursement of any applicable visa fees. Residency may begin as early as March 2017 and extend through September 2017. All fellowships must conclude by September 30. Fellows are responsible for securing their own housing and medical insurance coverage during their term of residency. \nRequirements\nApplicants with or without a Ph.D. will be considered; those without a Ph.D. will be considered based on their relevant professional experience. Applicants must be nationals of a country from the Asia-Pacific or the United States (see below for a list of eligible countries) and eligible to receive a fellowship stipend. Successful applications will include a completed online application form\, a full CV\, two letters of reference\, and a policy-relevant research proposal of five pages (double spaced). The proposal should discuss the policy problem or issue to be examined and a tentative hypothesis and arguments. A brief bibliography of the relevant literature is also welcome but not required. Each proposal must make the case that the proposed project can be completed in three months and that a fellowship in Washington\, D.C. would further this research (For example: by interviewing government officials/policy experts\, access to archives at local institutions etc.) \nSource: http://www.eastwestcenter.org/ewc-in-washington/visiting-fellows/asia-studies-fellowship \n

SUMMARY:The Toyota Foundation International Grant Program 2017
DESCRIPTION:The grant program focuses on deepening mutual understanding and knowledge-sharing among people on the ground in East and Southeast Asia who are finding solutions to shared issues. Through promoting direct interaction among key players\, the grant program aims to survey and analyze situations in target countries\, obtain new perspectives\, and expand the potential of future generations. \nWith multinational teams comprised of participants from diverse backgrounds\, projects can avoid conventional linear relationships\, such as “supporter and supported” or “instructor and trainee\,” and instead form cooperative and creative alliances that consider\, act on\, and construct solutions to shared issues. The grant program anticipates that these partnerships\, which extend beyond such factors as nationality\, age\, and organizational affiliation\, will produce significant social change through fostering a process of mutual learning. \n\n\n\n\n	Target CountriesEast and Southeast Asia *1\n\n\n\n\n	Thematic AreasA.

SUMMARY:2017 Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:A. BACKGROUND\nThe Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship (IACS) has been conducted since 2003 and was initially offered to and participated by member countries of the South West Pacific Dialogue (SwPD); Australia\, New Zealand\, Papua New Guinea\, the Philippines\, Timor-Leste\, and the host Indonesia. \nBearing in mind the significance and advantages obtained from the program\, the scholarship was expanded over the years to include member countries of ASEAN\, ASEAN+3\, PIF countries\, as well as many countries from all regions in the world. In 2017 the participants of the scholarship will include participants from MIKTA countries (Mexico\, Indonesia\, South Korea\, Turkey and Australia). In the period of 2003 to 2016\, the scholarship has been awarded to 718 alumni from 63 countries. \nDue to the limited space and the vast amount of interest in the program\, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia in cooperation with Indonesian Embassies and Consulates overseas\, hold a series of selection process. Taken into considerations are\, among others\, the awardees’ background\, gender\, regional representation and the interest to learn Indonesian culture. \nIn order to deepen the awardees’ understanding of Indonesian arts and culture\, and to enhance their skills for the final performance\, awardees will be divided and assigned by the organising committee to different arts centers for the duration of approximately 3 (three) months. The arts centers are located in 4 (four) cities\, namely: Denpasar (Bali); Makassar (South Sulawesi); Surabaya\, (East Java) and Padang (West Sumatera). \nAwardees will live within or around the arts center\, allowing for the chance to experience the local heritage and interact with the local community. Synergy between theory and practices shared inside and outside the arts center would undoubtedly become the driving force for shaping international cultures and norms\, and will eventually strengthen regional as well as global understanding and cooperation at a people-to-people level. \nB OBJECTIVE\nThe program serves to demonstrate Indonesia’s commitment as an initiator of the establishment of South West Pacific Dialogue and as the originator member of ASEAN in advancing the social culture cooperation in the region. The program also has an objective to encourage better understanding amongst participants from member countries through Indonesia’s immensely diverse arts and cultural heritage. Finally\, the programme aims to cultivate a culture of cooperation\, emerging from direct contact and sharing of cultures amongst people involved in the program\, leading to thriving diplomatic relations in the region and worldwide. \nC. PARTICIPANTS\nAwardees of the 2017 IACS will be targeted from many countries: member countries of ASEAN\, ASEAN + 3\, East Asia Summit\, ASEAN Dialog Partners\, ASEAN + European Union\, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation\, Asia-Europe Meeting\, Melanesian Spearhead Group and members of South West Pacific Dialog as the original participants of Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship. \nD. TIME\nThe non-degree arts and culture scholarship is offered for three months period of time\, starting on 6 May to 19 August 2017. \nE. LOCATION\nAfter 1 (one) week of orientation/introduction of the program in Jakarta\, awardees are given the art center designated for them by the organizing committee on the basis of their motivation\, interests\, gender\, regional dispersion etc. Decision of the designated arts center is subject to the discretion of the organizing committee. \nF. LIST OF COURSES\nBasically\, all awardees will learn about Indonesian arts and culture in general while their staying in the art centers. However\, some of the courses will be different in each arts center depending on the local arts and culture. For example\, In Surabaya\, the awardees will learn Javanese art and culture such as the process of batik and its significance; karawitan; traditional Javanese dance; and Javanese language. In Bali\, the awardees will learn Balinese art and culture\, namely Balinese dance and gamelan. Meanwhile\, in Makassar\, the awardees will learn the Sulawesi arts and culture\, as well as the local language. \nEach arts centre will also arrange special visit to several historical places as well as renowned tourist destinations for awardees. \nPrior to their residency at arts centres\, awardees should participate in one week orientation in Jakarta and will learn issues such as the Aim and Objectives of the Scholarship; Introduction to Indonesian Culture; Indonesian contemporary arts and cultures\, Information about the activities and curriculum offered by the art centers\, etc. \nAll awardees will perform in an arts and cultural night titled “Indonesia Channel” to remark the closing of the scholarship program. The “Indonesia Channel” is scheduled to be held on 15 August 2017. Awardees will return to their respective countries on the following days. \nG. SCHOLARSHIP COVERAGE\nThe scholarship will cover: \n\nTuition fee (including extra-curricular activities);\nA round trip economy class ticket;\nAccommodation (board and lodging);\nLocal transportation during program;\nHealth insurance (limited). All awardees are advised to have their own health insurance.\nMonthly allowance of Rp. 1.500.000\,-.\n\nH.
