 Native Voices Endowment: A Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Legacy
Endangered Language Fund
Request for Proposals 2022
​Application Instructions

The request for proposals for 2022 has now closed.

You can download a PDF of the application submission instructions here.
​
Please refer to the Eligibility Criteria before preparing and uploading your application to the Grants Management Portal

NVE applications will no longer be accepted through email. Instead, applicants will use the online Grants Management System to submit their application materials.
 
Important Note: Please put together all of your proposal materials before you begin entering information into our Grants Management System. When you enter data into the system, you are (currently) not able to save and exit the system, so you will enter and upload all materials at once and then submit for review. We encourage you to look at the submission requirements and these steps ahead of time so that you know what materials are required. If you have any questions, please email us at elf_at_yale_dot_edu
 
Step 1. Navigate your browser to this URL and click on "Go to Grant Applications Page": https://mc.miamioh.edu/grant-management/GrantApps
 
Step 2. Choose the grant for which you wish to apply (this cycle is for Native Voices Endowment)
 
Step 3. Enter information:
--Title of the project
--Name of the tribal community in which language is spoken
--Name of states in which language is spoken (You can currently only identify one state in this drop-down list. Please identify the primary state, and if there are others, you can include them in the project narrative)
--ISO 639-3 Code for the language
--Amount requested (Applicants may seek funding for up to 3 consecutive years; If seeking more than one year of funding, please enter the amount requested for each year)
--Primary Project Manager Information
Note: The system currently allows for only one primary project manager. This should also be the person with whom ELF corresponds. However, you can identify additional project managers in the project narrative file, which you will upload to the system.

--Prior ELF funding

Step 4. Upload application files:
