Subject: Joint Call for Applications: ELDP & DLCE

 
The Endangered Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP) and the Department of
Linguistic and Cultural Evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology (DLCE) are collaborating to document linguistic diversity. The
initiative focuses on contributing data from languages of Latin America and
Oceania to the Glottobank project.

The DLCE is providing 20 grants at 5,000 Euro each, for work contributing to
Grambank, Lexibank, and Numeralbank (https://glottobank.org/). If you are
working on a language of Latin America or Oceania (broadly construed to
include Micronesia, Polynesia, the Western Pacific, New Guinea, and Island
Southeast Asia), and can contribute data on the grammar, lexicon or numeral
system to the Glottobank databases, please apply.
The grants are for up to six months and can be used for travel and subsistence
costs, recording equipment or equipment for remote fieldwork, and consultant
payments. Grants will be awarded to a host institution who will administer the
funds (e.g.; University, NGO). Please ensure that your institution agrees to
the administration of the grant. Note that no overheads will be provided.

Please fill in the online application form here:
http://form.jotform.com/212003200051326

Submission deadline for the online application is October 15, 2021.

Complete the form, print, sign, have the research office sign and send a scan
of the signed form to eldp at eldp.net by November 15th 2021. 

Notification of results: April 15th 2022.

Successful applicants will be paired with a Glottobank coder who will train
them in the coding system and support them throughout the grant period.

Importantly, given the global pandemic applications must demonstrate the
viability of the documentation project. Applications should address the
Covid-19 situation in the country of documentation, as well as provide
information on the measures you will take to safeguard your health and the
health of your collaborators in the community. ELDP and DLCE will not support
any project that jeopardises the welfare or health of communities and/or
grantees. Protective measures and careful planning must be demonstrated in
your application to ensure the viability of the project.

If you have any question please get in touch with ELDP at eldp at eldp.net
