Research and Project Funding Awards
Each semester beginning in January 2026, the Linguistics Department will accept faculty applications to fund linguistic-related research and projects of up to 4K. The deadline for Fall applications is November 1; the deadline for Spring applications is March 1. While the department will try to support several awards each year, this is a competitive funding award designed to recognize proposals that promise to bring attention to the outstanding work of our LING faculty and students. Decisions on research and project funding awards will be made and announced by the LING Executive Committee within two weeks after each application deadline.
Small Funding Requests
Fill out the form below to request departmental support for small funding needs of under 2K. If your requested funding needs are meant to benefit the department as a whole, please contact the Finance and Business Manager, Ethan McGinnis, directly, instead of using this portal. As of January 2026, the Linguistics Department has set aside funds for five faculty spending pools: (1) technology, equipment, or furniture related to teaching and research, (2) conference attendance (if other internal funding sources have been exhausted), (3) student researchers on faculty research projects, (4) small events involving students and faculty, or (5) skilled assistance for PhD advisees completing the dissertation. Faculty may submit multiple small funding applications over the course of an academic year. However, funding decisions depend on overall AY funding available and may also consider the extent and type of previous funding received.
