Subject: Fieldwork funding opportunity (deadline: February 15)


The Kinkade Language and Culture Foundation (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.
