<span style="display: none;"> </span>
<div id="ygrp-text">
<p>Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
As you may be aware, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales <br>
has been grant-aiding Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru with a ring-fenced <br>
annual grant. This has reduced in recent years (partly because of the <br>
Dictionary's two former Co-Editors were presented in the last <br>
Research Assessment Exercise, leading to "double funding", which was <br>
then clawed back). The Dictionary generates very little income from <br>
sales - just about enough to meet the production costs. The remainder <br>
of the Dictionary's costs are met by the University of Wales (approx. <br>
60%), but the University is being run down in the approach to the <br>
intended merger with University of Wales: Trinity Saint David in 2017 or 2018.<br>
<br>
Last year HEFCW announced that it intended to end its ring-fenced <br>
grant to the Dictionary because of financial exigencies and changed <br>
priorities. Consequently, we expect to lose at least 25% of our <br>
funding from August 2014.<br>
<br>
We have appealed to HEFCW to change its decision, pointing out that <br>
many large national historical dictionary projects around the world <br>
receive support from the public purse, in one way or another. HEFCW <br>
has asked us to substantiate this statement to aid its consideration <br>
of our case.<br>
<br>
We are therefore seeking to compile a list of major projects that <br>
receive funding from public sources (whether from a direct grant, or <br>
from funding via a university, or a government-funded learned <br>
society, or a quango such as a language board). The details HEFCW <br>
requires are the the name of dictionary or project, the source of the <br>
government funding and the approximate annual amount granted. (I <br>
appreciate that the amount of the annual grant may be difficult to obtain.)<br>
<br>
If there is any information which you can supply in your particular <br>
area of interest, I would be most grateful. I would also be grateful <br>
for any pointers to further possible sources of information to help <br>
us make our case.<br>
<br>
With thanks in anticipation,<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Andrew<br>
