Dynamic Language Infrastructure – Documenting Endangered Languages
(DLI-DEL) Fellowships at NEH

The Dynamic Language Infrastructure – Documenting Endangered Languages
(DLI-DEL) Fellowships are offered as part of a joint, multi-year
funding program of NEH and the National Science Foundation (NSF) to
develop and advance scientific and scholarly knowledge concerning
endangered human languages. DLI-DEL Fellowships support individuals
(not institutional or collaborative projects) who are junior or senior
linguists, linguistic anthropologists, and sociolinguists to conduct
research on one or more endangered or moribund languages. DLI-DEL
Fellowships prioritize scholarly analysis and publication, including
but not limited to lexicons, grammars, databases, peer-reviewed
articles, and monographs. Awards also support fieldwork and other
activities relevant to digital recording, documenting, and sustainable
archiving of endangered languages.

Eligibility:

    American citizens who live and work anywhere in the world and are
linguists, linguistic anthropologists, or sociolinguists who
specialize in documenting endangered languages.
    US residents who live in the US and who specialize in the above
fields are eligible to apply.
    Applicants must not be enrolled in degree programs. DLI-DEL
fellowships do not fund graduate students. However, if applicants have
completed all their degree requirements and the only remaining step is
degree conferral, they can apply provided they submit a letter from
their dean or department chair that attests to those facts.  If such a
letter is missing from the application, the proposal will be
considered unresponsive.
    Adjuncts, independent scholars, tribal linguists, retired faculty
members, non-tenured and tenure-track faculty members, and contractual
teaching-staff are welcome to apply.

Deadlines:

Deadline to submit applications is September 13, 2023; submitted
through grants.gov.
Expected notification date is April 30, 2024.

Period of Performance:

The shortest period of performance is 6 months, and the maximum period
of funding is 12 months, part-time equivalent, or a combination of
both. The amount of funding is $5,000 per month, or pro-rated
equivalent for half time:

DLI-DEL Fellowships program supports individuals who work between half
time and full time on their projects. You may combine part- and
full-time work, but you must work at least half time (50%), and you
can split your term into two separate active periods. The active
periods must be at least three months each.

If you work full time on your project, you must forgo teaching and
other major activities. If you combine a part-time award with teaching
or another job, you must carry a reduced class load, or work load,
during the period of performance. Awards will be reduced to reflect
the smaller time commitment when you work part time or for fewer than
the equivalent of 12 full-time months on the NEH project.

Please check the posted Notice of Funding Opportunity, the
pre-recorded webinar, the Frequently Asked Questions document, the
list of recently funded projects, and posted sample narratives on the
DLI-DEL Fellowship landing page (see under Samples Application
Narratives, on the left hand-side of the page) for more information.

If you have any questions, please e-mail them to delfel at neh.gov and
staff will be happy to help you.
