Small Grants Available for the Less Commonly Taught Languages
The National Council of Organizations of Less Commonly Taught Languages
(NCOLCTL) is pleased to announce a competition for mini-grants. Both
individuals and LCTL organizations are encouraged to submit proposals.
The mini-grants, non-renewable and not to exceed $2000, must be used for
projects that promote field building in the Less Commonly Taught
Languages, such as contributing to the Council's annual conference.
Purposes for which the grants may be used include the following:
- travel to a conference in order to make a presentation about language
pedagogy or materials development
- preparation for publication of a field analysis by an organization of
NCOLCTL
- attending a workshop or institute aimed specifically at LCTL pedagogy
or materials
- provision of partial support for a guest presenter at a workshop or
meeting for teachers of a particular LCTL.
Application criteria: Individuals who apply must be actively involved in
LCTL education and be members of a LCTL organization that is a member of
the Council, or work in a LCTL that does not belong to any language
organization. Proposals should include: (a) the name(s) and
qualifications of project member(s) submitting the proposal; (b) a
2-page, double-spaced project description with a statement of project
need and how the funds will be used, including any "product" to be
produced under the grant; and (c) a timeline for completion.
Applications will be strengthened by the inclusion of letters of
support from the individual's institution and/or a NCOLCTL member
organization. Preference will be given to projects involving
collaboration among individuals in two or more LCTLs.
Successful applicants will be required to submit a brief final report
describing how the grant was spent, the results of the project, and a
copy of any product stemming from the project.
Composition of the Screening Committee: The mini-grant screening
committee will be chaired by the Vice President of the Council and will
consist of one Council At-Large representative and one Council
representative selected by the President. The committee will represent
balance among language areas and organizational size.
Deadline: Proposal submissions must be received by July 12, 2002. Each
committee member will rank order the proposals from strongest to weakest
and the vice president will send this ranking to the Executive Director,
who will notify the winning proposals by no later than July 29. The
committee is empowered to suggest funding proposals at a level less than
requested.
Address for submissions: Proposals may be submitted via U.S. Mail, fax
or electronic mail to:
