Information for applicants
Grant types
ELDP provides four different types of grants. The information packs for the grant types will be made available with the opening of the grant round. We will offer the grant types described below. We strongly encourage first-time applicants to apply for a Small Grant before applying in any other category.
Small Grants (SG)
Small grants can be used for a range of purposes related to the documentation of endangered languages, such as to carry out fieldwork, develop a pilot project, or complete a project already begun. The maximum grant awarded is £10,000.
Individual Graduate Scholarships (IGS)
IGS applications are invited from individuals seeking scholarship funding for up to 3 years. Individual Graduate Scholarship projects last for 12 to 36 months; field trips are normally involved. In addition to field trip costs, you may apply for a stipend to cover the period while undertaking field research and processing the results. A stipend provides funding to cover direct living costs and is not a salary; as such, employment-based taxes should not be claimed.
Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship (IPF)
IPF grantees are typically researchers at an early stage in their academic career (e.g. who have held a PhD less than 5 years), with qualifications in linguistics and experience in linguistic fieldwork. IPFs are available for between between 12 and 24 months.
Major Documentation Project (MDP)
MDP funding can cover elements including fieldwork costs, equipment, researchers' salaries, and graduate students' stipends (stipends should be included only for activities contributing to the project while in the field or processing the documentation materials). Project duration is from 6 to 36 months. Funding for these projects typically ranges from anything above £10,000 up to £130,000 (the maximum is £150,000). We encourage you to submit quality proposals that provide value for money and are clearly justified.
