<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Claire Bowern's comments about the funding at NSF under the Documenting Endangered Languages Program affords me the opportunity to mention that there are a few changes going on. I have recently taken over as director for this program from Doug Whalen, although he continues to stay involved with endangered language issues through his work at the Endangered Language Fund. </p>
<p>The DEL program partners with the National Endowment for the Humanities to offer both grants and fellowships. Submissions are always in September, so one just passed. However, it isn't too early to start thinking about the next round though! I encourage you to check out the program solicitation (and grant guidelines) --links to both are listed below. As well, sample proposals can be found on the NEH website under the same program name at </p>
