**SUMMER PROGRAMS**

**IN JAPAN AND KOREA**

[**Application Deadline**: **December 1, annually**]{.underline}

**Overview and Objectives**

This program announcement describes three summer programs that provide
U.S. graduate students in science and engineering first-hand experience
in Japanese and Korean research environments, an introduction to the
science and science policy infrastructure of the respective countries,
and language training. The primary goals of the programs are to
introduce students to Japanese and Korean science and engineering in the
context of a research laboratory and to initiate personal relationships
that will better enable them to collaborate with Japanese and Korean
counterparts in the future. The programs will last approximately eight
weeks from June/July to August. Contact the NSF Japan and Korea Program
or access the NSF Homepage (http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/int/intfund.htm) for
current information.

**The Summer Institute in Japan**

**for U.S. Graduate Students in Science and Engineering**

**Background**

The Summer Institute was established in 1990 as a result of discussions
by the Task Force on Access of the U.S.-Japan Agreement on Cooperation
in Research and Development in Science and Technology. The program is
sponsored in Japan by concerned government agencies and organizations,
and in the United States by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Agricultural Research
Service (ARS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The NSF and the
Science and Technology Agency of Japan (STA) are the implementing
agencies for the program. The Summer Institute supports about sixty
students each year and it is expected that the size of the program will
increase in the future. Host institutions for the program include
government, university, and corporate laboratories in Tokyo and Tsukuba
Science City (located approximately 60 km northeast of Tokyo). Beginning
in 1996, Summer Institute participants were also placed at host
institutes in the Kansai area, and it is expected that additional
institutes outside of Tokyo and Tsukuba will host students in the
future.

**Key Elements**

-   Program dates: late June to late August (As a result of the complex
    institutional arrangements required in Japan for the Summer
    Institute, the program **must be attended in its entirety**.)

-   An internship at a Japanese government, corporate, or university
    laboratory in Tokyo or Tsukuba (see Appendices I and II; other
    laboratories, exclusive of universities, will be considered on a
    case-by-case basis). Note that participants placed on an individual
    basis outside of Tokyo and Tsukuba will not be able to receive
    intensive language training as part of the program, and may not be
    able to participate in group lectures and other cultural activities.
    If the language component of the program is important to you, do not
    list institutes outside of Tokyo and Tsukuba as potential host
    sites.

-   Intensive language training and practice with Japanese instructors

-   Lectures and discussions on Japanese science policy, the history and
    politics of Japan, and elements of Japanese culture

-   Participants are encouraged to make their own arrangements to visit
    laboratories outside of their host institute in Tsukuba, Tokyo, or
    elsewhere in Japan. Such visits should be scheduled in consultation
    with your host scientist, or be planned to occur following the
    Summer Institute program.

**Support**

The National Science Foundation will pay international travel costs to
and from Japan and an allowance of \$2,000 for each participant. This
allowance is meant to compensate in part for loss of summer employment.
The Japanese government will provide accommodations as well as
allowances for food and professional travel within Japan. In Japan, the
Japan International Science and Technology Exchange Center (JISTEC) will
provide logistical support for the Summer Institute. Participants are
responsible for providing their own insurance and for any additional
expenditures. Due to the intensive nature of the program, the U.S. and
Japanese supporting agencies agree that dependents are not permitted to
accompany participants during the eight-week program.

**The Monbusho Summer Program:**

**Research Experience Fellowships for**

**Young Foreign Researchers**

**Background**

The Monbusho Summer Program began in 1993 when NSF and counterpart
organizations in Germany and the United Kingdom joined the Japanese
Ministry of Education, Science, Sports, and Culture (Monbusho) in a
trial program to invite young foreign researchers to Japan for a summer
research experience. The program was formally established in 1995 by
Monbusho as the "Research Experience Fellowships for Young Foreign
Researchers." In 1996, there were fourteen participants: eight from the
United States, four from the United Kingdom, one from France, and one
from Germany. The Monbusho Summer Program shares the same primary
objectives as the Summer Institute, but does not offer intensive
language training. Individuals participating in the Monbusho Program
receive a week of education on Japanese language and culture. After this
period, however, they are expected to develop additional language skills
on their own. This contrasts with the Summer Institute, in which a
portion of each day is devoted to language training. The Monbusho
Program also places participants in different research settings
throughout Japan. Individuals work in national universities or
inter-university research institutes, whereas in the Summer Institute
individuals are placed primarily in government or corporate
laboratories.

**Key Elements**

-   Program dates: early July to late August (As a result of the complex
    institutional arrangements required in Japan for the Monbusho Summer
    Program, the program **must be attended in its entirety**.)

-   An internship or cooperative research activities at a national
    university or inter-university research institute (see Appendix III)

-   An introduction to the Japanese language and lectures and
    discussions on Japanese culture and research policy (one week
    duration upon arrival in Japan)

-   Participants are encouraged to make their own arrangements to visit
    other research laboratories throughout Japan. Such visits should be
    scheduled in consultation with the host scientists, or be planned to
    occur following the conclusion of the Monbusho program.

**Support**

The National Science Foundation will pay international travel costs to
and from Japan and an allowance of \$2,000 for each participant. This
allowance is meant to compensate in part for loss of summer employment.
The Japanese government will provide accommodations as well as
allowances for food and professional travel within Japan. In Japan, the
Graduate University of Advanced Studies (GUAS) will provide logistical
support for the Monbusho Summer Program. Participants are responsible
for providing their own insurance and for any additional expenditures.
Due to the intensive nature of the program, the U.S. and Japanese
supporting agencies agree that dependents are not permitted to accompany
participants during the eight-week program.

**The Summer Institute in Korea**

**for U.S. Graduate Students in Science and Engineering**

**Background**

The United States and the Republic of Korea entered an Agreement for
Cooperation in Science and Technology in 1976 (renewed in 1992). Under
this Agreement, NSF and the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation
(KOSEF) entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 1977 (renewed in
1993) to encourage and support S&T cooperation between U.S. and Korean
scientists and engineers in all recognized branches of the natural and
engineering sciences, including mathematics and related social sciences.
The Summer Institute was conceived as a mechanism for making available
to U.S. graduate students opportunities for access to Korean centers of
excellence through involvement in a summer research program. The Summer
Institute began on a trial basis in 1995. NSF and KOSEF entered an
agreement under the existing MOU establishing a Special Cooperative
Program supporting the Summer Institute in Korea, Exchanges of
Scientists and Engineers, and Linking Research Centers. The Ministry of
Science and Technology, Republic of Korea, provides funding for these
special activities.

Support for approximately 20 U.S. graduate students is provided, with
costs being shared by NSF and KOSEF. KOSEF has identified more than 50
potential host institutions, including KOSEF-supported Science Research
Centers and Engineering Research Centers, government research
institutes, private research institutes, and other institutions whose
scientists and engineers are eligible to participate in cooperative
activities supported by NSF and KOSEF. Participants in the Summer
Institute will be assigned to laboratories mainly in one of three
locations: Seoul, Daeduk Science Town (a suburb of Taejon), or Pohang.

**Key Elements**

-   Program dates: mid-June to early August (As a result of the complex
    institutional arrangements required in Korea for the Summer
    Institute, the program **must be attended in its entirety**.)

-   An internship at a participating Korean research laboratory (see
    Appendix IV)

-   Intensive language training and practice with Korean instructors

-   Site visits to Korean centers of scientific and cultural interest

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Participants are encouraged to make their own arrangements to visit
    other research laboratories throughout Korea. Such visits should be
    scheduled in consultation with the host scientists, or be planned to
    occur following the conclusion of the Summer Institute program.

**Support**

The National Science Foundation will pay travel costs to and from Korea
and an allowance of \$2,000 for each participant. This allowance is
meant to compensate in part for loss of summer employment. KOSEF will
provide living accommodations as well as allowances for food and
professional travel within Korea. In Korea, KOSEF also will provide
logistical support. Participants are responsible for providing their own
insurance and for covering any additional costs. Due to the intensive
nature of the program, NSF and KOSEF agree that dependents are not
permitted to accompany participants during the eight‑week program.

**Application Procedures for Summer Programs**

**in Japan and Korea**

**Eligibility**

To be eligible for these programs, as of December 1 of the application
year, applicants must be:

1\. U.S. citizens or permanent residents;

2\. Enrolled at a U.S. institution in a science or engineering Ph.D.
program, enrolled in a M.D. program and have an interest in biomedical
research, or enrolled and completed at least one full year in a M.S.
program**,** and;

3\. Pursuing studies in fields of science (including social science) or
engineering which are supported by the National Science Foundation, the
National Institutes of Health, or the Agricultural Research Service, and
also which are represented among the potential host institutions (see
Appendices I-IV).

**Evaluation**

Applications for the summer programs in Japan and Korea will be
evaluated by a panel of experts for scientific promise and the potential
for contribution to future international collaborative activities. The
evaluation criteria include:

-   Competence in science or engineering and potential for continued
    professional growth as a research scientist or engineer, as
    illustrated by research or other professional achievements,
    educational background, and letters of recommendation.

-   Relevance of professional interests to research done in Japan or
    Korea, the current stature of Japanese or Korean research within the
    field, and the probable effect of participation on an applicant\'s
    career. Preference will be given to those who have not previously
    participated in a Japan or Korea science exchange program.

-   Willingness and preparation to live in and adapt to foreign cultures
    and the ability to form good working relations with foreign
    researchers. Relevant factors include language aptitude or
    achievement, previous study abroad, membership in intercultural
    organizations, and research collaboration with foreign scientists.

Successful applicants will be notified by March. Participants should
confirm that they will have adequate time before departure for Japan or
Korea to apply for and receive a U.S. passport. Permanent U.S. residents
should verify their ability to travel without difficulty outside of the
United States and to Japan or Korea. Holders of valid U.S. passports do
not require a visa for stays in Japan of less than 90 days. Participants
in the Korea Summer Institute will be required to obtain a Korean visa.

**Application Format, Content and Submission**

Application materials should be submitted directly to the NSF Japan and
Korea Program by the applicant; endorsement by an institution is not
required. Proposals are accepted once a year, beginning in November, and
must be postmarked by December 1. Applicants are responsible for
verifying with the NSF Japan and Korea Program that their application
file is complete.

A complete summer program application consists of the following
documents, assembled in sequence:

**1. Application Form** (Part 1, pages 1-3) - The same forms are used
for the Summer Institute in Japan, the Monbusho Summer Program, and the
Summer Institute in Korea. Given that there are two countries involved
and the significant differences in the Summer Institute and the Monbusho
Summer Program (the language component in particular), it is extremely
important that you carefully consider the program to which you wish to
apply. Please check the appropriate program on page 1 of the application
form. Should you wish to be considered for more than one program,
indicate first, second, and third preferences on the application form.

**2. List of Potential Host Institutions** (Part 2) - Summer Institute
in Japan applicants should use Appendices I and II as a guide and should
list **at least one** of the non-university institutions listed in
Appendix I. (Other institutions not listed in Appendices I and II,
exclusive of universities, may be considered for the Summer Institute in
Japan on a case-by-case basis.) Monbusho Summer Program applicants
should use Appendix III. (No other institutions can be considered for
the Monbusho Summer Program.) Summer Institute in Korea applicants
should use Appendix IV. (Other institutions may be considered for the
Summer Institute in Korea on a case-by-case basis).

Information on many of the institutes and laboratories is available on
the World Wide Web. For Japanese host sites, see the NSF Tokyo Homepage
(http://www.twics.com/\~nsftokyo/home.html) as a starting point. A
directory of "National Laboratories and Public Research Organizations in
Japan" is accessible on the World Wide Web at
http://www.jicst.go.jp/inst_dir/index.html and is also available in hard
copy at many university libraries and Offices of Sponsored Programs or
upon request from the NSF Japan and Korea Program.

List potential host institutions **in priority order** and identify the
specific research divisions of the programs that are of particular
interest to you. If known, give the names and complete contact
information of the researchers that you would like to be considered as
your potential host. Indicate whether you have already established
contact with each researcher and/or institution, and provide copies of
any communication from the scientist offering to host you for the
program. Significant updates regarding host contacts should be provided
immediately to the NSF Japan and Korea Program. Although the information
you provide on potential host institutions and researchers will
definitely strengthen your application and will assist in matching you
with an appropriate host, assignment to a specific laboratory **cannot**
be guaranteed. Matching of all students is done with consideration given
to: 1) an individual's stated preferences regarding host institution; 2)
the mix of host laboratories from corporate, government, and university
sectors, and; 3) the number of students located in different
geographical regions. Formal requests for laboratories to serve as hosts
are made through the appropriate ministries and agencies. Requests may
be declined for a number of reasons, and when this happens, we seek to
arrange placement at a different laboratory. For this reason, you are
advised to list at least three potential host institutions. On the other
hand, you are cautioned that, should placement occur at any of the
institutions you list, you will be expected to accept placement unless
there are truly exceptional circumstances.

**3. Statement of Purpose** (Part 3) - Explain your unique
qualifications for participation in the summer program and list the
benefits the program will provide to your professional development. May
not exceed one page.

**4. Description of Research** (Part 4) - Provide a summary of your
current research projects and interests. Please note that this
information will be the basis for assignment to an appropriate host
laboratory and will be read by potential host scientists in order to
determine if there are common research interests. It is important to
write the summary for a technical audience and to identify in the
process both a general field of study and any specific research
interests, especially those relevant to the Japanese or Korean research
environment. May not exceed one page.

**5. Current Curriculum Vitae/Resume**

**6. Undergraduate and graduate transcripts** - Unofficial copies are
acceptable. If enrollment in a master\'s or Ph.D. program is not
explicitly indicated on the latest transcript, attach a signed statement
from the Registrar\'s office attesting to current status. Remember that
for M.S. students at least one year of graduate work must have been
completed prior to application to the program.

**Ten (10)** copies of the complete proposal are required. In addition,
the following must also be provided:

1\) A single copy of ***Information about Principal
Investigators/Project Directors*, NSF Form 1225** (Appendix V). The
information requested refers only to you, the student applicant.

> 2\) **Recommendation Form** (Part 5): One from applicant\'s research
> supervisor and two from other faculty members or others qualified to
> comment on applicant\'s abilities and potential. Make copies of the
> recommendation form to give to each referee. The supervisor's
> recommendation form should include a specific statement of agreement
> to applicant\'s participation in the summer program. The letters must
> be mailed directly by the referees to the Japan and Korea Program at
> the address below.

All materials must be sent to the Japan and Korea Program at the address
