Grants for Language Research That Addresses Social Issues
The Sociological Initiatives Foundation provides research grants for projects that have practical implications related to fundamental inequalities pertaining to language use.
The grants, up to $25,000, fund applied research projects that support research that furthers our understanding of language learning and behavior, as well asits intersection with social and policy questions.
Language issues include literacy, language loss and maintenance, language policy, language and national security, bilingualism, language and gender, language and law, language disabilities, language and health, language and education, different language cultures, and second language acquisition.
It is particularly interested in supporting projects that consider questions of language and social justice.
The Foundation supports projects that address institutional rather than individual or behavioral change. It does not fund services, programs, or program evaluation.
The guidelines and a short concept application form for the August deadline are available at http://www.sifoundation.org.
