We had our first (non-organizational) meeting of the Fieldwork Discussion Group Friday September 14 2018 at NYU. It was a workshop/panel discussion on grant writing for fieldwork. The panelists where Jason, Gillian, Zvjezdana and me. We each talked five minutes about our fieldwork grants, and then opened the floor to questions from the students. Here were their excellent questions:
1. How do you know if a language is endangered?
2. How do you approach the broader impacts section of the grant?
3. Who is your audience when you write a grant?
4. When you are creating a budget are there certain items that
are hard to predict?
5. When do you apply for a DDRIG in your graduate education?
6. What is the timing of the IRB approval when applying for a grant?
7. What made you choose (addressed to Jason) the EAGER grant program at NSF?
8. How did you first get your foot in the door doing fieldwork?
9. How did you find immigrants to work with in NYC?
