Initiated in 2022, this grant program (2 offered at $5,000 each) supports those new to the professoriate (1-5 years in their teaching positions at colleges or universities in the United States immediately after defending the dissertation) who are conducting research projects, whose results can have a positive impact on the field of applied linguistics or language learning and teaching.
Research projects will be evaluated on a rubric. Applicants may only receive the grant once and the committee will strive to choose grant applications from a wide variety of research projects and languages. This is a pilot project for three years, after which time it will be evaluated for its value.
Applications open December 1st of each academic year.
