    Greetings,

    In anticipation of the 2003 LSA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA, the Linguistics Program of the University of South Carolina would like to hear from: alumni/ae of the USC Linguistics Program; undergraduate alumni/ae of USC who are linguists; and other linguists with South Carolina connections.

    If you are in the first group (an alumna/us of the USC Linguistics Program), you might check to see if you are listed on the program's alumni/ae page (it only goes back as far as 1993) and that your listing is up to date: http://www.cla.sc.edu/LING/alumni.html

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Best wishes, Stan Dubinsky

    Alaska Native Language Center ANLC Research Fund

    Application Deadline: April 1, 2002 http://www.uaf.edu/anlc/fund.html

    For many years the Alaska Native Language Center has supported field work and language revitalization efforts by persons working in collaboration with the Center. The ANLC Research Fund formalizes this process in a program designed to support applied research in Alaska Native languages.

    Scope Supported projects must have a direct and lasting impact on Native language documentation and/or revitalization in Alaska. Examples may include, but are not limited to, the following: dictionary projects; text collection and transcription; curriculum and materials development; language planning workshops; audio and video documentation. Grant funds are intended to cover expenses such as travel, supplies, and consultant fees, but not living expenses, equipment, or salary for the applicant.

    Eligibility Anyone capable of carrying out language research which falls within the scope outlined above may apply for an award. Awards are made to individuals, though applicants may specify a collaborator who will assist and/or consult in carrying out the work. Collaboration with ANLC faculty is highly encouraged.

    Amount and Duration of Award Award amounts are small, typically less than $2000. Since the award program is supported primarily by ANLC book sales, we are unable to determine the total number of awards in advance. ANLC encourages applicants to use ANLC Research Fund support to leverage other sources of grant funding.

    Requirements Award recipients agree to provide ANLC with a research report (including documentation of expenses) and copies of recordings, transcriptions and materials produced during the award period. For projects which involve publication, recipients are encouraged to work with ANLC Press.

    Application Procedure Submit a completed application, together with three letters of reference, by April 1, 2002. Awards will be announced by June 1. Applicants are encouraged to discuss their proposal in advance with ANLC faculty and staff members. Applications can be downloaded at http://www.uaf.edu/anlc/fund.html
