Endangered Language Fund Invites Proposals for Language Legacies Grant Program 2016

Deadline: 10 April 2016

The Endangered Language Fund is inviting applicants for its Language Legacies Grant Program 2016. The Program provides grants for language documentation and revitalization, and for linguistic fieldwork. The work most likely to be funded is that which serves both the native community and the field of linguistics, although projects which have immediate applicability to one group and more distant applicability to the other will also be considered. Support for publication is a low priority, although it will be considered.

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.
