Japan Foundation Library Support Program Advisory Committee (JFLS)
The Japan Foundation Library Support Program Advisory Committee reviews and
ranks library support applications as a service to the Institutional Support
Subcommittee of the Japan Foundationıs American Advisory Committee which
makes recommendations on library grants to the Foundation in Tokyo.
Committee members are chosen both from librarian members currently serving
on the NCC, augmented by additional non-member librarians as needed, plus
the CEAL representative, and the JF-AACıs designated representative who
chairs this committee.
Specifically each year, members review applications from December through
early January. After the final application deadline, the Japan Foundation
staff will send members a complete packet of applications and all supporting
materials and the Committee chair will contact members for preliminary
ranking instruction for reviewing applications.
The Japan Foundation Library Support Program Advisory Committee as a whole
meets each January in conjunction with the NCCıs Council meeting to rank
applications and to make recommendations to the Japan Foundation American
Advisory Committee which will make the final recommendations to the Japan
Foundation in Tokyo.
