Research support
Indigenous Scholar Scheme
The Scheme funds Indigenous language experts to work on a small project of their design with the support of a RUIL team member. Depending on the nature of the project, RUIL can provide relevant training, collaborative support, library access and relevant resources. Applicants can apply for up to $5000, which can be used to fund such things as travel, salary buyout to enable time to work on the project, research assistance costs, publication costs, etc.
Indigenous Language Support
This scheme supports Indigenous individuals and communities across Australia to expand and strengthen Indigenous language research, and to support their efforts to maintain their linguistic and cultural heritage.
Leary Trust for Australian Indigenous Languages Award
The Research Unit for Indigenous Language is excited to congratulate Dharug woman Tula Wynyard as the inaugural winner of the Leary Trust for Australian Indigenous Languages Award.
This award was established in 2020 to support and encourage the study of Australian Indigenous languages by Australian Indigenous honours students at the University of Melbourne. The award will support Tula as she undertakes her honours year in Linguistics in 2021.
