Subject:
Solicitation for Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants from
NSF’s Linguistics Program

Body:
NSF’s Linguistics Program has published a solicitation (NSF 14-551) for
Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement proposals (Ling-DDRI).  The
solicitation is available via the following web link:
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505033.

This solicitation provides instructions for the preparation of proposals to
be submitted to the Linguistics Program for Doctoral Dissertation Research
Improvement (DDRI) Grants. It replaces instructions that had been included
in the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) Doctoral
Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (SBE-DDRIG) announcement (NSF
11-547).  The advisor or another faculty member serving as the principal
investigator (PI) of the proposal is now required to submit a signed
statement affirming that the student will be able to undertake the proposed
research soon after a DDRI award is made. In addition, the PI must affirm
that she/he has read the proposal and believes that it makes a strong case
for support of the dissertation research project.

This solicitation also provides new clarification regarding certain aspects
of DDRI proposal preparation for submission to the Linguistics Program.
Doctoral students are limited to two DDRI submissions in the course of
their graduate career; however, there is no limitation on the number of
times that a graduate advisor may be the principal investigator on a DDRI
proposal submitted to the Linguistics Program, either during a specific
competition or over the course of her/his career.

Target dates for submitting DDRI proposals remain unchanged:  January 15th
and July 15th, annually.
