The Endangered Language Fund offers grants for language maintenance as well as linguistic field work.
The work to be funded is that which caters both the native community and the field of linguistics. However, work which has instant applicability to one group and more distant application to the other will also be considered. Publishing subventions are at low priority but will also be considered. Proposals can originate in any country. The language involved must be in danger of disappearing within a generation or next. 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 and others as well. 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.
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.
Applications must be received by April 20th, 2012.
