| Title | Endangered Language Fund (ELF) Proposals |
| Body | From: Endangered Language Fund (elf@haskins.yale.edu) The Endangered Language Fund, which provides small grants for language maintenance and linguistic field work, is now requesting proposals for its 2004 round of grants. 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 understood to be a continuum, and the location on the continuum is one factor in ELF's funding decisions. Eligible expenses include consultant fees, tapes, films, travel, etc. Overhead is not allowed. Grants are normally for one year periods, though extensions may be applied for. Grants in this round are expected to be less than $4,000 in size, and to average about $2,000. There is no application form, but the information requested below should be provided in four copies. (1) The first page should contain: --title of the project --name of language; country in which it is spoken --name of primary researcher --address (with phone and e-mail if possible) --Social Security number (if US citizen) --place and date of birth --present position, education, and native language(s) --previous experience and/or publications that are relevant. The same information should be provided for collaborating researchers, if any. This information may continue onto a second page. (2) 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. (3) 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. 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. A researcher can be primary researcher on only one proposal. Applications should be printed (on one side only) and **four copies** mailed to: The Endangered Language Fund Dept. of Linguistics Yale University P. O. Box 208366 New Haven, CT 06520-8366 USA The street address for express mail services is: The Endangered Language Fund Department of Linguistics 370 Temple Street Yale University New Haven, CT 06511 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. Applications must be received by **April 20th, 2004**. Decisions will be delivered by the end of May, 2004. Receipt of application will be made by e-mail if an email address is given. Otherwise, the applicant must include a self-addressed post-card in order to receive the acknowledgment. |
