NSF Documenting Endangered Languages

Documenting Endangered Languages

This partnership between the National Science Foundation and the
National Endowment for the Humanities supports projects to develop and
advance knowledge concerning endangered human languages and aims also to
exploit advances in information technology. Funding will support
fieldwork and other activities relevant to recording, documenting, and
archiving endangered languages, including the preparation of lexicons,
grammars, text samples, and databases. Funding is available for 6-10
project grants ranging from $12,000 to $150,000 per year for 1-3 years
and about 12 fellowships of either $40,000 (9-12 months) or $24,000 (6-8
months). Fellowships are not intended to support graduate course work or
a master's degree, but may contribute to the completion of a doctoral
dissertation. At least half the available funding will be awarded to
projects involving fieldwork.

DEADLINE: November 1, 2004
