Description
ELDP provides grants for the documentation of endangered languages. The key objectives of ELDP are:
- to support the documentation of as many endangered languages as possible
- to encourage fieldwork on endangered languages, especially by scholars at an early stage in their academic career with skills in language documentation
- to create a repository of language resources for linguistic, social sciences, and the language communities.An application for an IPF is likely to be unsuccessful unless it demonstrates:
- a prior track record of documentary work, archiving and research publications by the PI
- a clear relationship to the host institution in terms of intellectual relationships, as well as academic and technical support
- a clear mentoring relationship between a staff member at the host institution and the PI
- clear strategies for both documentation and research for the period of the award.
