| Title | Funding: FEL calls for proposals for 2004 |
| Body | From Nicholas Ostler (nostler@chibcha.demon.co.uk) 25 Nov 2003: The Foundation for Endangered Languages (UK) is now accepting proposals for projects that will support, enable or assist the documentation, protection or promotion of one or more endangered languages. Form for Submissions -------------------- There is a form that defines the content of appropriate proposals, which is accessible at the Foundation's website: http://www.ogmios.org It may also be obtained from me at the address below. All proposals must be submitted in this form, to ensure comparability. Deadline -------- The time-limit for proposals in the current round will be 18 January 2004. By that date, proposals and supporting testimonials must reach FEL at the address below. The FEL Committee will announce its decision before March 31, 2004. Four points to note (the first two are new this year): 1. The form now contains a question about the potential for further work after completion of a first grant. This information serves both to support the current application and to provide the Foundation with arguments in their quest for further funds to supplement existing projects in the future. 2. Where possible, work undertaken within endangered language communities themselves will be preferred in the selection. FEL is prepared to comment on draft proposals from communities or community linguists, and suggest weaknesses and potential remedies (without prejudice) before the selection. Such draft proposals -- clearly marked "DRAFT" -- should reach FEL as soon as possible, and no later than December 31, 2003. 3. The Foundation's funds remain extremely limited and it is not anticipated that -- in the first instance -- any award will be greater than US$1,000. Smaller proposals stand a better chance of funding. 4. The Foundation for Endangered Languages (FEL) is separate from ELF, the Endangered Language Fund (www.haskins.yale.edu). It is possible (and has occurred in the past) that the same project can be partially funded by both FEL and ELF.
