Betreff: ELF Request For Proposals 2005

               Request for Proposals, 2005
               Endangered Language Fund
      The Endangered Language Fund 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.
      HOW TO APPLY
      There is no form, but the information requested below should be
printed (on one side only) and FOUR COPIES sent to our new address:
      The Endangered Language Fund
      300 George Street
      New Haven, CT  06511
      This address is valid both for regular mail and for express mail
services.
      Applications must be mailed in. No e-mail or fax applications will be
accepted.  Please note that regular mail, especially from abroad, can take
up to four weeks. If you have any questions, please write to the same
address or email to: elf at haskins.yale.edu
      REQUIRED INFORMATION:
      COVER PAGE:
      The first page should contain:
      TITLE OF THE PROJECT
      NAME OF LANGUAGE AND COUNTRY IN WHICH IT IS SPOKEN
      NAME OF PRIMARY RESEARCHER
      ADDRESS OF PRIMARY RESEARCHER (include phone and email if possible.)
      PLACE AND DATE OF BIRTH
      PRESENT POSITION, EDUCATION, AND NATIVE LANGUAGE(S).
      PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND/OR PUBLICATIONS THAT ARE RELEVANT.
      Include the same information for collaborating researchers if any.
This information may continue on the next page.
      DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:
      Beginning on a separate page, provide a description of the project.
This should normally take two pages, single spaced, but the maximum is five
pages.  Be detailed about the type of material that is to be collected
and/or produced, and the value it will have to the native community
(including relatives and descendants who do not speak the language) and to
linguistic science. Give a brief description of the state of endangerment of
the language in question.
      BUDGET:
      On a separate page, prepare an itemized budget that lists expected
costs for the project.  Estimates are acceptable, but they must be
realistic. Please translate the amounts into US dollars.  List other sources
of support you are currently receiving or expect to receive and other
applications that relate to the current one.
      LETTER OF SUPPORT:
      Two letters of support are recommended, but not required.  Note that
these letters, if sent separately, must arrive on or before the deadline
(April 20th, 2004) in order to be considered. If more than two letters are
sent, only the first two received will be read.
      LIMIT TO ONE PROPOSAL
      A researcher can be primary researcher on only one proposal.
      DEADLINE
      Applications must be received by APRIL 20th, 2005.  Decisions will be
delivered by the end of May, 2005.
      ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT
      Receipt of application will be made by email if an email address is
given.  Otherwise, the applicant must include a self-addressed post-card in
order to receive the acknowledgment.
      IF A GRANT IS AWARDED
      Before receiving any funds, university-based applicants must show that
they have met the requirements of their university's human subjects'
committee. Tribal- or other-based applicants must provide equivalent
assurance that proper protocols are being used.
      If a grant is made and accepted, the recipient is required to provide
the Endangered Language Fund with a short formal report of the project and
to provide the Fund with copies of all audio and video recordings made with
ELF funds, accompanying transcriptions, as well as publications resulting
from materials obtained with the assistance of the grant.
