Synopsis: This funding partnership between the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) supports projects to develop and advance knowledge concerning endangered human languages. Made urgent by the imminent death of roughly half of the approximately 7000 currently used languages, this effort aims to exploit advances in information technology to build computational infrastructure for endangered language research. The program supports projects that contribute to data management and archiving, and to the development of the next generation of researchers. Funding can support fieldwork and other activities relevant to the digital recording, documenting, and archiving of endangered languages, including the preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases.Sponsored Research & Grantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09652345790536610801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385899100124798361.post-11323069680661971732012-04-20T18:50:00.004-07:002012-04-20T18:50:55.821-07:00NSF: Economics Program<span lang="">NSF: Economics<br />

The Cultural Anthropology Program supports basic scientific research about the causes, consequences, and complexities of human social and cultural variability. Cultural anthropologists analyze human social and cultural behavior holistically. This integrated approach makes anthropology a valuable research tool for understanding the modern world. Because cultural patterns are emergent over time and space, there is no single natural scale for ethnographic and ethnological analysis. In some cases, cultural patterns may emerge from the collective behavior of large ensembles of smaller scale units; in others, they may be imposed by larger scale constraints. The origins of social and cultural variability may be remote from the scale at which they are observed. Therefore, research may target any appropriate scale or scales from local to regional to global. The Program encourages innovative research that contributes to building spatially and temporally specific theory that extends understanding beyond individual case studies.Sponsored Research & Grantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09652345790536610801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385899100124798361.post-73020976454662092732012-04-20T18:48:00.000-07:002012-04-20T18:48:08.325-07:00NSF: Sociology<span lang="">NSF: Sociology<br />

This agency-wide initiative encourages exploration of the ways in which cultures from around the globe, as well as the myriad subcultures within America’s borders, have influenced American society. With the aim of revitalizing intellectual and civic life through the humanities, NEH welcomes proposals that enhance understanding of diverse countries, peoples, and cultural and intellectual traditions worldwide. Applications might also investigate how Americans have approached and attempted to surmount seemingly unbridgeable cultural divides, or examine the ideals of civility and civic discourse that have informed this quest. Successful applicants will work in partnership with NEH to develop and implement a curriculum and professional development project for faculty members from community colleges across the United States or in a multistate region. The project will help community college faculty and administrators create new courses on Bridging Cultures themes or topics; design new course sequences, concentrations, and core curricula; or conduct scholarly research that will improve faculty preparation and enrich teaching.</span>Sponsored Research & Grantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09652345790536610801noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385899100124798361.post-76461908777843518782012-04-20T18:44:00.000-07:002012-04-20T18:44:25.576-07:00NSF: Law & Social Sciences Program<span lang="">NSF: Law and Social Sciences<br />

Synopsis: The Linguistics Program supports all types of scientific research that focuses on human language as an object of investigation. The program supports research on the syntactic, semantic, morphological, phonetic, and phonological properties of individual languages and of language in general. It also encourages investigation of linguistic questions that are interdisciplinary in nature: the psychological processes involved in the production, perception, and comprehension of language; the development of linguistic capacities in children; social and cultural factors in language use, variation, and change; the acoustics and physiology of speech; computational approaches to the study of language; and the biological bases of language in the brain.Sponsored Research & Grantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09652345790536610801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2385899100124798361.post-48374094962490901392012-04-20T18:40:00.002-07:002012-04-20T18:40:18.702-07:00National Institutes of Health - Nutrition and Physical Activity Research to Promote Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Health<span lang="">National Institutes of Health - Nutrition and Physical Activity Research to Promote Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Health (R01, R21) <br />

<br />
Synopsis:</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span>The British Council and the Social Science Research Council are pleased to announce the launch of<b><i><u> Our Shared Past, </u></i></b><i><u></u></i><u></u>a collaborative grants program to encourage new approaches to world history curriculum and curricular content design in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and North America.<br />
<br />
Our Shared Past is premised on the notion that many of the categories used to frame and teach world history—civilizations, nations, religions, and regions—occlude as much as they reveal. Although there have been successful attempts at incorporating recent historical scholarship in world history writing, the core of world history instruction continues to be shaped by civilizational, national, and regional narratives that emphasize discrete civilizations and traditions frequently set at odds with one another at the expense of historical and material connections.<br />
<br />
Our Shared Past grants will promote the development of international scholarly communities committed to analyzing history curriculum and reframing the teaching of world history through the identification of new scholarship and the development of new curricular content that illustrate shared cultural, economic, military, religious, social, and scientific networks and practices as well as shared global norms and values that inform world history and society. The project will encourage both the synthesis of existing scholarship on these topics and the exploration of concrete ways that this reframing can be successfully introduced into teaching curriculum in European, Middle Eastern, North African, or North American contexts.<br />
<br />
Our Shared Past grants may support workshops that convene scholars and advisory boards as well as partnerships between regional educational organizations and advocates. Additionally, projects may use a grant to support public-facing events that allow for engagement with curriculum reform around world history. <br />
