The Linguistics Outreach Fund (LOF) provides small grants to support research on understudied and/or endangered languages that contributes to a theoretically informed description or analysis of the language, and is carried out under the mentorship of faculty in the Linguistics Department at UMass Amherst. To be eligible for LOF grants, you must be:
(i) a recent or current undergraduate, M.A. or Ph.D. student, either at UMass or elsewhere, who is a native speaker of an understudied language or dialect or member of an understudied language community OR
(ii) a graduate student in the Linguistics Ph.D. program at UMass who intends to carry out original field research on an understudied language or dialect in the community where the language or dialect is spoken.?
If you are interested, you should continue reading the full LOF.
Students and faculty are urged to think about the availability of funding through the Linguistics Outreach Fund in connection with relevant research plans for coming years.
Interested students and faculty who would like to apply in Spring 2014 for funding for a project to be carried out in the next half year or so should contact me. The March 15 deadline for applications mentioned in the document will be extended to April 15 this year, to facilitate planning for an application.
