The Endangered Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP) administered
at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of
London announces two cycles of grant funding in 2009.  Full details,
including application forms and guidelines, will be available from 1
March 2009 at: http://www.hrelp.org/grants/

In order to meet the demand for support for language documentation
work, there will be two granting cycles in 2009.  Cycle 1 is targeted
to specific granting categories, with an expedited schedule opening on
1 March.  Cycle 2 is a full granting cycle, in which applications in 
all grant categories will be invited, opening on 15 May.

All applicants should note that there have been changes in the
categories of grants, application forms and guidance, and terms and
conditions.  Applicants should familiarise themselves with 
all aspects of the revised application process, as there will be
differences compared to earlier ELDP granting cycles.
