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. For further information about the application process please email RUIL.
