[RNLD] Endangered Language Fund grant proposals 2014

[Felicity Houwen]

The Endangered Language Fund has opened up grant applications for 2014.
Information about applications below, with further information on their
website: http://endangeredlanguagefund.org/request.php

The ELF provides grants for language maintenance and linguistic field work.
The work most likely to be funded is that which serves both the native
community and the field of linguistics. Work which has immediate
applicability to one group and more distant application to the other will
also be considered. Publishing subventions are a low priority, although
they will be considered. Proposals can originate in any country. The
language involved must be in danger of disappearing within a generation or
two. Endangerment is a continuum, and the location on the continuum is one
factor in our funding decisions.

Eligible expenses include consultant fees, tapes, films, travel, etc.
Overhead is not allowed. Grants are normally for a one year period, though
extensions may be applied for. We expect grants in this round to be less
than $4,000 in size, and to average about $2,000.
Eligibility

Researchers and language activists from any country are eligible to apply.
Awards can be made to institutions, but no administrative (overhead,
indirect) costs are covered.

Please note that many languages in the northwestern United States of
America are NOT eligible for the Language Legacies grant. These languages
are covered instead by our Native Voices Endowment grant program (click
here for more details) <http://endangeredlanguagefund.org/NVE_request.php>.
The full list of languages that are covered by the Native Voices Endowment
and ineligible for the Language Legacies grant may be found in PDF
form here<http://endangeredlanguagefund.org/lib/pdf/NVE_list_lgs.pdf>.

Deadline

Applications must be received by April 22nd, 2014. Decisions will be
delivered by the end of May, 2014.
