Description

1) Objective

Rapid Grants support initial fieldwork aimed at assessing the viability of a documentation project, initial engagement with a language community, and preliminary data collection such as word lists to establish language status and/or genealogical status. The grants can be used to support focused work on a specific language that is either known to be endangered or where there is evidence that it is likely endangered.

They can also be used to support linguistic survey work for areas where the current situation is poorly known but where there is a strong likelihood that endangered languages are spoken/signed. ELDP especially welcomes applications from documenters from communities speaking/signing endangered languages, local scholars and students from the country where the language is spoken/signed, and collaborative projects.

2) Eligibility

ELDP welcomes applications from language documenters of any nationality to undertake projects in any part of the world. Applicants are normally expected to have experience in language documentation work, fieldwork, and/or a suitable academic background. However, as the purpose of Small Grants is to encourage innovation, any individual or group with a keen interest in documenting an endangered language is eligible to apply.

3) Location

Actions can take place worldwide.

4) Budget

The maximum grant amount is 5,000€ and the maximum project duration is six months.

5) Application

Rapid Grants are offered on a rolling basis, meaning that they can be submitted at any time. Notification of results will usually occur within two months of submission.
