Dear fellow endangered language scholars:
As a member of the screening committee for the SSRC's IDFP program
described below, I can tell you that the competition never includes
projects on endangered languages. Such a proposal would potentially
stand out from the pack and be of great interest to the committee. The
project focus is inherently international, comparative, and
interdisciplinary, which is precisely what the granting agency is looking
for. Please apply if you are a doctoral student looking for field
research money!
I hope to be reading your applications before the winter holidays.
Best wishes
Katherine Hoffman

in partnership with the American Council of Learned Societies, the=20
International Dissertation Field Research Fellowship program provides=20=
support for social scientists and humanists conducting dissertation=20
field research in all areas and regions of the world. Up to fifty=20
fellowships will be awarded in the year 2005. Funds are provided by=20

cross-regional, and cross-cultural. Proposals that identify the U.S. =20=
as a case for comparative inquiry are welcome; however, proposals that =20=
require no substantial research outside the U.S. are not eligible.=20
Standard fellowships will provide support for nine to twelve months in=20=
the field, plus travel expenses. Funding will rarely exceed $20,000.
See the SSCR Web site for complete program information and application=20=

2. The Wenner-Gren Foundation: Individual Research Grants for =20

http://www.wennergren.org/programsirg.html#fieldwork
Programs
The Wenner-Gren Foundation pursues its two major goals - advancing=20
basic research in anthropology and building an international community=20=
of
anthropologists - through several funding programs.
Individual Research Grants
Description: Grants for amounts up to $25,000 are available for basic=20=
research in all branches of anthropology. Grants are made to seed=20
innovative approaches and ideas, to cover specific expenses or phases=20=
of a project, and/or to encourage aid from other funding agencies. The=20=
foundation particularly invites projects employing comparative=20
perspectives or
integrating two or more subfields of anthropology. A small number of=20=
awards is available for projects designed to develop resources for=20
anthropological research and scholarly exchange.
The foundation, under its Individual Research Grants Program, offers:
=95 Dissertation Fieldwork Grants
=95 Post-Ph.D. Grants
=95 Richard Carley Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships.
Budgetary Guidelines: Grants cover research expenses directly related=20=
and essential to the project (i.e., travel, living expenses during=20
fieldwork, equipment, supplies, research assistance, and other relevant=20=
expenditures). Aid is not provided for salary and/or fringe benefits=20
of applicant, tuition, non-project personnel, travel to meetings,=20
institutional overhead, or
institutional support. Low priority is given to dissertation writeup=20=
or other support for writing (except under the Hunt Fellowship),=20
publication assistance, and film- or video-making (unless inherent to=20=
the research project). Expenses incurred prior to the effective date=20
of an award will not be covered; budgets should reflect foundation=20
deadlines.
Application information: A formal application must be submitted. Those=20=
interested in receiving an application can contact the foundation to=20
have the appropriate forms mailed to them, or (if they know their=20
eligibility) individuals can download the forms directly from this=20
website. Please note that our application forms have been revised;=20
forms dated prior to year 2000 cannot be accepted.
Deadlines: There are two deadlines each year, May 1st and November=20
1st. For applications submitted by the May 1st deadline, funding will=20=
be available the following January 1st. Under the November 1st=20
deadline, funding will be available the following July 1st. Applicants=20=
should meet the most appropriate deadline for their research plans.=20
Decisions for each
application cycle will be announced six to eight monthes after the=20
deadline date. Only one application may be submitted during any=20
twelve-month period.
Dissertation Fieldwork Grants are awarded to individuals to aid =20
doctoral dissertation or thesis research. Applicants must be enrolled=20
for a doctoral degree. Application must be made jointly with a thesis=20=
advisor or other scholar who will undertake responsibility for=20
supervising the project. Awards are contigent upon the applicant's=20
successful completion of all
requirements for the degree other than the dissertation/thesis.=20
Applications may be submitted before such requirements have been met;=20=
however, should an award be approved, the foundation will at that time=20=
request evidence of that the applicant is "all-but-dissertation/=20
advanced-to-candidacy". Qualified students of all nationalities are=20
eligible.
Post-Ph.D. Grants are awarded to individual scholars holding the =20
doctorate or equivalent qualification in anthropology or a related =20
discipline. Qualified scholars are eligible without regard to=20
nationality or institutional affiliation. Application for Post-Ph.D.=20
Grants may be made by the scholar either as an individual or on behalf=20=
of an organization. Ph.D. candidates seeking postdoctoral support=20
should file a Dissertation Fieldwork
Grant application and indicate that support is being requested for=20
postdoctoral research; if an award is approved it will be made after=20
the Ph.D. is in hand.
A limited number of Richard Carley Hunt Postdoctoral Fellowships,=20
nonrenewable awards with a maximum of $40,000, is available to=20
scholars within ten years of receipt of the Ph.D., to aid the writeup=20=
of research results for publication. Qualified scholars are eligible=20
without regard to nationality or institutional affiliation. Applicants=20=
must hold the Ph.D. at the time of application.

as in particular historical and cultural contexts. Standard=20
