This grant, a multi-year funding partnership between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), is for developing and advancing knowledge concerning endangered human languages. Recognizing the urgent threat posed by the imminent death of thousands of languages, this initiative supports projects focused on fieldwork, recording, documenting, and archiving these languages. Eligible activities include preparing lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases, often leveraging information technology. Funding is available for one- to three-year project grants and fellowships lasting up to twelve months, with at least half the funding allocated to fieldwork. The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) also participates as a research host.
