The U.S. Embassy Tokyo of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program for a media study tour for Japanese journalists on trilateral security cooperation. Following the historic August 2023 Trilateral Leaders’ Summit hosted by President Biden at Camp David, the United States, Japan, and Republic of Korea inaugurated “a new era of trilateral partnership,” and committed to strengthening trilateral security cooperation through enhanced trilateral defense exercises, improved information sharing, and increased cooperation on ballistic missile defense, including against DPRK missile threats. To better understand how the trilateral relationship is making strides, print journalists based across Japan will learn firsthand through a five-day media study tour on trilateral security cooperation with travel to Tokyo and Seoul (including the DMZ). They will engage with policymakers and experts from all three nations to gain a deeper understanding of how this enhanced cooperation is occurring and the significance that it plays to the region. The Japan-based journalists will also have an opportunity to meet and network with ROK journalist counterparts, forging important regional connections and facilitating networking connections among media professionals. The U.S. Embassy Tokyo invites proposals from eligible institutions to execute this program. Ground rules for meetings during the trip will be a combination of on-the-record, off-the-record, and background/Chatham House Rule. As much as possible, participating journalists will be encouraged to write articles for their readers around Japan. Proposals should include all cost associated with the program, including: - round-trip international airfare between Japan and the Republic of Korea - domestic travel expenses in Japan (round-trip transportation costs to/from the airport(s) for international departure) - ground transportation and gratuities in the Republic of Korea (e.g., chartered bus) - lodging in the Republic of Korea - ROK visa fee if necessary - overseas travel insurance - meals and incidentals - interpretation fees

The Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) is offering the Community Tree Planting Program, funded by the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP) through the 2008 State Legislature. This grant program is administered by the Division of Forestry’s Urban and Community Forestry Program. The core mission of this grant is to increase the tree resource base in cities and towns across Tennessee, focusing on the functional benefits of urban trees rather than solely on beautification. The primary beneficiaries of this program are communities and local units of government, non-profit organizations, and elementary, secondary, and higher education institutions within Tennessee. The impact goal is to enhance the state's urban tree resources to provide direct cost-saving benefits to communities. These benefits include energy savings through shading, storm water mitigation, rain interception, and improved air quality through filtration and absorption. The program's priorities and focuses are explicitly not beautification but rather the practical, environmental services that trees provide. It emphasizes that trees are "work horses for communities." Recommended goals and objectives for applicants include statements about urban trees providing cooler temperatures, cleaner air, reduced flooding and erosion, improved human health, and food and shelter for wildlife. Expected outcomes and measurable results revolve around the increase in the tree resource base and the subsequent realization of the aforementioned environmental and economic benefits. While specific metrics are not detailed in the provided text, the focus on quantifiable benefits like energy savings and storm water mitigation implies an expectation of measurable improvements in these areas. The grant contracts will run from December 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025, suggesting that the initial outcomes will be assessed within this timeframe. Eligible applicants can apply for grants ranging from $500 to $20,000, which further indicates a focus on smaller, community-level projects with clear, achievable objectives.
