Note to applicants
If you have already engaged in fieldwork or documentation work your application will be evaluated with regard to your track record in the creation and preservation and sharing of documentary resources. If you have created documentary materials (e.g., audio/video recordings, transcription, translation and annotation of recordings, lexical databases or word lists) we encourage you to ensure your resources are archived and made accessible for evaluation. Contact us (eldp@eldp.net) if you would like to seek advice on archiving your materials.
Note to previous grantees and current grant holders
If you and/or your project participants currently hold a grant with us or have held a grant with us before, you need to ensure that the documentation materials from your and/or your project participants' grants have been deposited at ELAR.
The quality of your deposit and your track record with ELAR and ELDP will form part of the evaluation of your current application. ELDP will not make a formal offer until other projects supported by us have been completed with a deposited collection which is evaluated satisfactorily by the panel. Contact us (eldp@eldp.net) about the status of your and/or your project participants’ deposit of the previous or current grant, or if you have any further questions regarding this regulation.
Please get in touch with us at eldp@eldp.net if you have any questions.
