About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities, is seeking applicants for grants supporting dynamic language infrastructure research for endangered human languages, with applications due February 16, 2027.
Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education (two- and four-year IHEs, including community colleges) accredited and located in the U.S.; nonprofit, non-academic organizations (independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies) located in the U.S. and directly associated with educational or research activities; and tribal organizations and American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian serving organizations. When proposals include funding for international branch campuses of U.S. IHEs, the applicant must explain the project benefits and justify why activities cannot be performed at the U.S. campus. No program-specific restrictions limit who may serve as PI.
The program supports one- to three-year senior research grants and conference proposals. Funding covers fieldwork and digital recording, documentation, analysis, and archiving of endangered language data, including preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases. Projects must contribute to data management and archiving or to development of the next generation of researchers. Conference proposals should be submitted at least one year in advance of the scheduled conference date.
The program is assigned to four CFDA numbers: 47.050 (Geosciences), 47.070 (Computer and Information Science and Engineering), 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences), and 47.076 (STEM Education), reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of computational language research infrastructure for the approximately 7,000 currently used languages, roughly half of which face imminent loss.
Synopsis
4 versions
Update #4 · Latest ·
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 dynamic language infrastructure in the context of endangered human languages - languages that are both understudied and at risk of falling out of use. Made urgent by the imminent loss of roughly half of the approximately 7,000 currently used languages, this effort aims to exploit advances in human-language 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, documentation and analysis, and archiving of endangered language data, including the preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases. Funding is available in the form of one- to three-year senior research grants and conference proposals. Fellowship support is available through a separate funding opportunity administered by NEH.
Note: a conference proposal should generally be submitted at least a year in advance of the scheduled date of the conference. For additional information about creating and submitting conference proposals, please refer to PAPPG Chapter II. E.9.
