Subject: Fieldwork Funding Opportunity (Deadline Feb 15)

 
The Kinkade Language and Culture Fund (KLF) and the Jacobs Research Funds
(JRF) provide support for projects involving fieldwork with living peoples of
North, Central and South America which result in publication or other
dissemination of information about the fieldwork. Priority is given to
research on endangered cultures and languages, and to research on the Pacific
Northwest. Projects focusing on archival research have low priority, but we
welcome proposals to digitize, transcribe and translate old materials that
might otherwise be lost or become inaccessible. Relevance of the project to
contemporary theoretical issues in anthropology and linguistics is also a
criterion used in evaluating proposals.

Funded projects typically focus on linguistic analysis, social-cultural
anthropology, ethnolinguistics, or sociolinguistics. Especially appropriate
are field studies that address cultural expressive systems, such as music,
language, dance, mythology, world view, folk taxonomy, art, intellectual life,
and religion. Also appropriate are projects focusing on cultural and
linguistic forms in modern contexts, for example, traditional environmental
knowledge or social organization.

Projects in archeology, physical anthropology, applied anthropology, and
applied linguistics (for example, grants exclusively for technological
improvements, development of pedagogical materials, etc.) are not eligible for
support. It is expected that both the subjects of research and society in
general will ultimately benefit from the knowledge generated by the funded
research. The Jacobs Research Funds therefore do not support proprietary
research for the exclusive use of any entity, public or private (such as
national, state, provincial, or local governments; public or private
charities, churches or foundations; tribes or bands; or community groups).

Grant categories:

1. Individual Grants support research projects administered by a single
investigator on a focused problem. The maximum award is $3000 USD.
2. Group Grants support work by two or more researchers who will be
cooperating on the same or similar projects. The maximum award is $6000 USD.
3. The Kinkade Grants honor the memory of the late Dale Kinkade, a linguist
known for his work on Salishan languages. Kinkade Grants support projects
requiring an intense period of fieldwork, such as research leading to a major
work such as a dictionary, collection of texts, etc. They are intended for
experienced researchers, such as Ph.D. students working on dissertations,
faculty with sabbatical or other period of course release, or retired
professors seeking to complete major research. The maximum award is $9000 USD.

Application Procedure:

Deadline: All materials must be received by February 15th, 2020
