About this opportunity
This Federal Grant Opportunity, jointly funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), supports projects that develop and advance knowledge concerning endangered human languages. The program aims to exploit advances in information technology to build computational infrastructure for endangered language research, with a focus on digital recording, documenting, and archiving of endangered languages, including the preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases. Eligible applicants include other entities beyond academic institutions. Proposals will be evaluated based on their potential to contribute to data management and archiving, and to the development of the next generation of researchers. The deadline for this opportunity is not specified.
Funding will be available in the form of one- to three-year senior research grants as well as six- to twelve-month fellowships. Award values are not explicitly stated, but typical grant sizes for the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program range from $30,000 to $500,000. The work is expected to be primarily performed at academic and research institutions across the United States.
Synopsis
This funding partnership between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) supports projects to develop and advance knowledge concerning endangered human languages. Made urgent by the imminent death of roughly half of the approximately 7000 currently used languages, this effort aims to exploit advances in information technology to build computational infrastructure for endangered language research. The program supports projects that contribute to data management and archiving, and to the development of the next generation of researchers. Funding can support fieldwork and other activities relevant to the digital recording, documenting, and archiving of endangered languages, including the preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases. Funding will be available in the form of one- to three-yearsenior researchgrants as well as fellowships from sixto twelve months.
