> Foundation for Endangered Languages
> 
> Call for Proposals for Grants: the 2012-2013 round
> 
> Important Dates
> 
> Deadline for submission of proposals: 31 December, 2012
> 
> Announcement of the results: 15 February, 2013
> 
> The Foundation for Endangered Languages is now accepting proposals for
> projects of work that will support, enable or assist the use of one or
> more endangered languages. These endangered languages may be anywhere
> in the world.
> 
> The Foundation is committed to raising awareness of endangered
> languages and supporting revitalization and preservation of endangered
> languages through all channels and media. The Foundation awards grants
> to projects that further these aims as and when its funds permit. The
> Foundation's funds remain limited this year, and only an exceptional
> award will be greater than US $1,000. Smaller proposals will have a
> better chance of receiving funding.
> 
> Priority will be given to projects that focus on the revitalization of
> endangered languages and support the use of endangered languages in
> various spheres of community life (home, education, cultural and
> social life). Any language documentation proposals must have a clear
> and immediate relevance to prospects for language revitalization.
> 
> For further details, read the Guidance notes. They are available at
> the FEL website grants page. Be sure to read them before filling in an
> application form. See also our Manifesto page to find out more about
> the Foundation's goals and values.
> 
> Conditions and Format for Submission
> 
> Only grant proposals from FEL members will be considered. If you are
> not a member then you will need to join before applying. Details of
> how to join are on our Membership page.
> 
> All proposals must be submitted in our standard format, to ensure
> comparability. Applicants must submit two documents:
> 
> ·       an Application Form (AF)
> 
> ·        a Case for Support (CS)
> 
> Remember to read  the Guidance notes before filling out the
> Application form and writing a Case for Support. Applications which do
> not meet the requirements outlined in the Guidance will not be
> considered and returned to the author/s. The two documents
> (Application form and Case for Support) should be named
> "languageCS.doc" and "languageAF.doc", substituting the actual project
> language name for language.
> 
> All these necessary document forms are available at the FEL website
> grants page, http://www.ogmios.org/grants/index.htm.
> 
> Unless agreed with Nicholas Ostler in advance in writing, all
> proposals must be in English. Text with any special characters
> (non-ASCII) should be written using Unicode.
> 
> The Application Form (AF) and Case for Support (CS) are best submitted
> as Microsoft Word files attached to an e-mail message. Send your
> message to the following addresses:
> 
> ·       hakimelnazar at yahoo.com
> 
> ·       nicholas at ostler.net
> 
> In general, it is not necessary to send us hard copy of files also,
> but we may request printed versions if we have difficulty reading the
> files.
> 
> For those without access to electronic communications, printed
> documents will also be accepted. Post them, to arrive by December, 20,
> 2012 to:
> 
> Nicholas Ostler
> 172 Bailbrook Lane
> Bath BA1 7AA
> United Kingdom
> 
> The grant recipients are expected to submit a copy of their completed
> project (in the form of report, video, learning material, dictionary,
> etc) to the FEL. They will be added to the FEL resources. The projects
> will also feature in the FEL website and newsletter.
> 
> Comments on Draft Proposals
> 
> FEL tries to keep procedures as simple as possible. But we recognize
> that they may be difficult for those without training in a western
> university. In the case of proposals from communities or community
> linguists, FEL is prepared to comment on drafts, and to identify
> weaknesses and potential remedies (without prejudice) before the
> selection. Such draft proposals clearly marked "DRAFT" should reach
> FEL as soon as possible, and no later than 10th of  December, 2012.
> 
> You are not required to submit a draft: this commenting service is
> offered only in order to help those in need of it. If draft
> applications are received from applicants who are judged not to be
> members of endangered language communities or such communities'
> designated linguists, they may be re-classified as final applications
> at FEL's discretion.
