TitleFunding Available to Help Save Endangered Languages
Body
Deadline: November 1, 2004

The National Science Foundation (http://nsf.gov/) and the National
Endowment for the Humanities have partnered to offer grants for projects
designed to help save endangered languages.

This multi-year funding partnership will support projects to develop and
advance knowledge concerning endangered human languages. Funding will
support fieldwork and other activities relevant to recording, documenting, and
archiving endangered languages, including the preparation of lexicons,
grammars, text samples, and databases. Funding will be available in the form
of one- to three- year project grants as well as fellowships for up to twelve
months. At least half the available funding will be awarded to projects
involving fieldwork.

Academic institutions and nonprofit, non-academic organizations located in
the United States are eligible to apply for funding. U.S. citizens and foreign
nationals who have been living in the U.S. or its jurisdictions for at least three
years are eligible to apply for fellowships.

An estimated 18 to 22 grants will be made, including 12 fellowships. The
program is expected to provide $2 million annually in funding.
