The Endangered Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP) is delighted to announce a call for applications for the 2023 grant round.

ELDP is announcing the 2023 call for applications for the documentation of endangered languages. Funding is available for documentation projects globally.

Please get in touch with ELDP if you would like to discuss project design in more detail or have any questions that are not addressed in the guidance materials.

ELDP provides grants for the documentation of endangered languages creating audio-visual recordings with transcriptions, translations, and annotations. Four types of grants are available for such language documentation projects:

Small Grants (up to 10,000 Euros)
Individual Graduate Scholarships
Individual Postdoctoral Fellowships
Major Documentation Projects (more than 10,000 Euros)

The Legacy Material Grant is for the digitisation of analogue legacy materials like for example  recordings of endangered languages in private holdings of retired colleagues.

Applicants are asked to carefully review the guidance materials for the different grant types.

Applications must be submitted online by 15th of October 2022, 5pm CEST.

The online application system is now open accessible through the ELDP website. 

ELDP will set up online drop-in sessions for potential applicants. These sessions will be announced on the ELDP Website and ELAR’s social media in due course.

All ELDP-funded projects can be found here.
