[RNLD List] New funding opportunity: Rechnitz Fund for Indigenous scholars working in languages and cultures

[Felicity Meakins]

Hi all,

The Rechnitz Fund was established in 2022 to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scholars in the social sciences, and to support knowledge and understanding of the society, languages and cultures of Australian Indigenous peoples. It does so through:

  1.  Grants for early- and mid-career Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander social science researchers (including Higher-Degree research students)
  2.  Awards for excellence and research leadership in Indigenous society, culture and language, and
  3.  Support for symposia, lectures and other related activities.

The Academy’s objective is to support this program for 10 years (2022-32), corresponding to the UN Decade of Indigenous Languages, by leveraging additional funding as the Fund is established.
The Rechnitz Fund is managed by the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia (the Academy) with guidance of the Rechnitz Fund Steering Committee.
