The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $449,534 project grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to document endangered languages through training and capacity building among diaspora communities. The 3-year project aims to produce richly annotated language documentation materials, conduct targeted studies of speech phenomena using advanced technology, and build the language documentation and conservation capacity of diaspora community members through workshops. Additionally, the project will engage in local and international outreach to foster dialogue between diaspora communities, scholars, and society to support language advocacy, maintenance, and education. This grant aligns with the NSF's mission to advance fundamental scientific research and education.
