Linguistics Program - Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (Ling-DDRI)

U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)

Program Title:

Linguistics Program - Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grants (Ling-DDRI)

Synopsis of Program:

The Linguistics Program supports basic science in the domain of human language, encompassing investigations of the grammatical properties of individual human languages, and of natural language in general. Research areas include syntax, linguistic semantics and pragmatics, morphology, phonetics, and phonology.
The program encourages projects that are interdisciplinary in methodological or theoretical perspective, and that address questions that cross disciplinary boundaries, such as (but not limited to):
What are the psychological processes involved in the production, perception, and comprehension of language?
What are the computational properties of language and/or the language processor that make fluent production, incremental comprehension or rapid learning possible?
How do the acoustic and physiological properties of speech inform our theories of language and/or language processing?
What role does human neurobiology play in shaping the various components of our linguistic capacities?
How does language develop in children?
What social and cultural factors underlie language variation and change?
The Linguistics Program does not make awards to support clinical research projects, nor does it support work to develop or assess pedagogical methods or tools for language instruction.

Award Information

Anticipated Funding Amount: $300,000 to $400,000

The anticipated funding amount is $300,000 to $400,000 per fiscal year.

Project budgets should be developed at scales appropriate for the work to be conducted.

Eligibility Requirements

Who May Submit Proposals:

Proposals may only be submitted by the following:
Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) - Two- and four-year IHEs (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Special Instructions for International Branch Campuses of US IHEs: If the proposal includes funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a US institution of higher education (including through use of subawards and consultant arrangements), the proposer must explain the benefit(s) to the project of performance at the international branch campus, and justify why the project activities cannot be performed at the US campus.

Who May Serve as PI:

DDRI proposals must be submitted with a principal investigator (PI) and a co-principal investigator (co-PI). The PI must be the advisor of the doctoral student or another faculty member at the US IHE where the doctoral student is enrolled. The doctoral student must be a co-PI.

Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization:

There are no restrictions or limits.

Limit on Number of Proposals per PI or co-PI:

There is no limitation on the number of times that a graduate advisor may be the principal investigator on a DDRI proposal submitted to the Linguistics Program, either during a specific competition or over the course of her/his career. Doctoral students, however, are limited to two DDRI submissions in the course of their graduate career.
