<P><FONT SIZE=2>The Endangered Language, thanks to the generosity of its members, is </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>once again able to offer small grants for work on endangered </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>languages. This announcement contains all the information you will </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>need to apply.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Request for Proposals, 2003</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Endangered Language Fund</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The Endangered Language Fund provides grants for language maintenance </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and linguistic field work. The work most likely to be funded is that </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>which serves both the native community and the field of linguistics. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Work which has immediate applicability to one group and more distant </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>application to the other will also be considered. Publishing </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>subventions are a low priority, although they will be considered. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Proposals can originate in any country. The language involved must </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>be in danger of disappearing within a generation or two. Endangerment </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is a continuum, and the location on the continuum is one factor in </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>our funding decisions.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Eligible expenses include consultant fees, tapes, films, travel, etc. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Grants are normally for one year periods, though extensions may be </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>applied for. We expect grants in this round to be less than $4,000 </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>in size, and to average about $2,000.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>HOW TO APPLY - PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF ADDRESS</FONT>
