Description
1) Objective
Major Documentation Projects could involve a number of elements, including fieldwork, salary costs of researchers and stipend costs of graduate students (while engaged in the field and in processing work) whose doctoral research will contribute to the project as a whole. You may request support for between 6 and 36 months.
ELDP especially welcomes applications from documenters from language communities, local scholars and students from the country where the language is spoken/signed, as well as collaborative projects. Applicants for large MDPs must have a proven track
record in language documentation and linguistic analysis and have demonstrated the skills to manage such a project. The panel will expect to see evidence of positive outcomes of previous grants, including accessible archived data and previous research.
2) Eligibility
ELDP welcomes applications from researchers of any nationality to undertake projects in any part of the world. Applicants should be researchers with qualifications in linguistics and experience in linguistic fieldwork (including suitably qualified graduate students). Projects may be undertaken by teams or individuals. MDP applications from established principal investigators are welcome.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
Grants must be over €10,000, lasting up to 36 months, for a maximum of €300,000.
5) Application
Deadline for submission of application forms is 1st October 2026, 5pm CEST.
