Subject: Call for Proposals: Hosting the 2022 Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang)

 
Greetings from Susan Gehr and Jean-Luc Pierite, the co-conveners for CoLang
2019-2020 Advisory Circle. On behalf of the Advisory Circle, we are formally
soliciting expressions of interest for hosting the 2022 Institute on
Collaborative Language Research (CoLang). These should take the form of a
two--to-three page proposal that minimally

- presents the qualifications of the proposed Director(s) (include
participation at prior InField/CoLangs
- outlines any Institute--particular themes or approaches
- presents possible fundraising strategies and sources of
internal/institutional support, including for participant scholarships
(fundraising, evaluating applications and administering)
- states the likely available resources for personnel, housing, and classroom
and technology support.

In addition to these four elements, things that might be added to make any
proposal stronger include:

- Listing official proposed partnerships, such as with tribal
colleges/universities (TCUs) or with local tribal authorities, ideally with
documentation in the form of letters of support
- Confirmed commitment from the director's institution (also in the form of
letters of support)
- For proposals to be hosted outside the US, specific plans that the Director
has for seeking funding commensurate with the NSF funding that has typically
been awarded to US institutions hosting CoLang
- For proposals to be hosted by non-academic institutions, confirmation that
the institution is eligible to apply to NSF for funding, or if not, specific
plans that the Director has for seeking commensurate funding.

The letters of support do not count against the three-page proposal limit. One
additional page can be added to list any already-known funding or in-kind
contributions.

Before sending out a full proposal, please send a brief expression of interest
in the form of a paragraph to both the Co-Conveners at susangehr at gmail.com and
jeanlucpierite at gmail.com by 15 November 2019. Full proposals should be emailed
to both the Co-Conveners by 15 January 2020. This call for proposals is also
available online at
http://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/colang-institute-collaborative-resear
ch

All proposals received by that date will be considered by the Advisory Circle.
The Advisory Circle may request additional information. Due to the nature of
the event, priority is given to a local organizing committee whose members (at
least one) have participated in earlier CoLang Institutes for at least 2 weeks
of workshops. If selected, the Director(s) will head the Local Organizing
Committee and will work closely with the Advisory Circle to develop themes,
course content, and instructors. CoLang has an established partnership with
the Linguistics Society of America, and the Director(s) and Local Organizing
Committee will therefore also work with the LSA. The duties of the Local
Organizing Committee are outlined in this paragraph from the Charter:

"b. Local Organizing Committee
A given year’s Institute is organized and run by a Local Organizing Committee.
The committee has the primary responsibility for that Institute. These
responsibilities include major fundraising, advertising, all Institute
administration including faculty and speaker contracts and payments, arranging
IRB approval and dealing with issues of informed consent for the practicum
(and elsewhere, if required), arranging venues, travel and any necessary
visas, and accommodations or all participants, as well as volunteer staffing,
airport transfers, social events, evaluation of each workshop/practica and
non-programmatic arrangements made at CoLang such that the AC can apply the
results to future institutes, and follow up reporting, and any other routine
things as necessary. Programmatic decisions are made with guidance from the
Advisory Circle.
