The International Research Foundation for English Language Education<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Since 2002, TIRF has supported students completing their doctoral research on topics related to the foundation’s priorities. Each year applicants who have been advanced to candidacy in legitimate PhD or EdD programs are invited to submit proposals for Doctoral Dissertation Grants (DDGs). (By “advanced to candidacy” we mean [a] having completed all required course work, if any, and [b] having had a research plan approved by the candidate’s university committee.) Proposals are reviewed by a TIRF committee of established international researchers. DDGs are provided in the amount of up to US $5000 per awardee.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The 2015 Doctoral Dissertation Grants competition is now open. The application deadline is Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at 11:59pm Pacific Time (United States & Canada).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
More information and the call for proposals is available here:<br>

<br>
It is also noteworthy that language policy and planning is one of the identified research priorities:<br>
