Sasakawa USA’s In-Depth Research Trip provides selected participants with an opportunity to visit Japan for a deeper understanding of common challenges and opportunities for growth in the U.S.-Japan relationship. Each participant will decide the research topic in consultation with Sasakawa USA, and build their own itinerary for a short trip to Japan to conduct independent research and interviews on the selected topic. Upon completion of the trip, participants are required to submit a research paper based on their research findings. These deliverables will be featured in Sasakawa USA’s on-line publications, and participants will have the opportunity to present their findings to the DC policy community at an event hosted by Sasakawa USA.
