>Please pass on this announcement to your friends and colleagues in

>Form for Submissions
>There is a form which defines the content of appropriate proposals, which
>is accessible at the FoundationÕs web-site
>http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Philosophy/CTLL/FEL/
> It may also may be obtained from Christopher Moseley,
><Chris_Moseley at mon.bbc.co.uk>
>2 Wanbourne Lane, Nettlebed. Oxfordshire RG9 5AH England
>fax +44-1491-641922
>
>All proposals must be submitted in this form, to ensure comparability
>(although see note 4 below).
>
>Deadline
>The time-limit for proposals to be considered in the current round will be
>the 31st of October 1999.  By that date, proposals and supporting
>testimonials must reach Christopher Moseley, at the address specified in
>the form.
>
>The FEL Committee will announce its decision before the 31st of December 1999.
>
>Four points to note especially:
>1. The Foundation's funds are extremely limited and it is not anticipated
>that any award will be greater than  US$1,000. Smaller proposals stand a
>better chance of funding.
>2. Where possible, work undertaken within endangered language communities
>themselves will be preferred.
>3. The Foundation for Endangered Languages (FEL) is a separate from the
>Endangered Language Fund (ELF) <elf at haskins.yale.edu>, which is also
>announcing its request for proposals about now, but on a somewhat different
>timescale. It is perfectly possible (and has indeed occurred in the past)
>that the same project can be partially funded by both FEL and ELF.
>4. Those who have already submitted proposals to FEL speculatively should
>contact Chris Moseley to confirm what information, if any, still needs to
>be submitted.  The form should be used to submit this additional
>information.
