Research Techniques for the Study of Arabic Dialects, Princeton University, USA
Grant for the study of Arabic dialects at the Near Eastern Studies Department, Princeton University
Job Description: The training will be conducted by two experienced Arabic dialectologists, Professor Werner Arnold (Heidelberg) and Professor Otto Jastrow (Tallinn). The summer school is funded by a generous grant from the Gardner Fund of the University’s Council of the Humanities.
Background and Rationale
The study of Arabic dialects is an important part of any program of scholarly research into the Arabic language, but it is by no means a matter of merely academic concern. To this day vernacular Arabic is used in everyday communication between native speakers in all Arabic countries, from Morocco to the Gulf, and Modern Standard Arabic remains the written form, its oral use being reserved for official occasions, radio and TV broadcasts, etc. Vernacular Arabic itself is divided into a large number of different dialects, with a limited number of so-called “prestige dialects” (usually based on the speech of capital cities) assuming the role of unofficial national spoken languages. Thus the knowledge of vernacular Arabic is indispensable for anybody – whether an individual or a corporation – wishing to enter into direct communication with the Arab world. Of course it is always possible to use Modern Standard Arabic or even English, but by doing so one is cut off from direct contact with ordinary people.
This was the reason why in the 1960s the United States Office of Education made a contract with Georgetown University to produce a series of textbooks for the major varieties of spoken Arabic. The books in the resulting series, today called “Georgetown Classics in Arabic Language/Linguistics,” can still be used with profit because they are based on serious dialect research. Ever since then, the interest in Arabic dialectology has been in steady decline, and nowadays the United States – probably the country with the largest number of specialists in Arabic in the world – lags behind most European countries in its contribution to Arabic dialectology. The predominant interest in linguistic theory and a concomitant lack of interest in fieldwork has brought about a decline in descriptive techniques and first-hand knowledge. The results of a century and more of dialect research have been largely forgotten, and recent papers sometimes treat Arabic dialects as if the whole field were a terra incognita.
The aim of the summer school is to reverse this trend and to lay the foundations for a renaissance of Arabic dialectology in the United States. The number of participants is limited to ten; typically (though not invariably) they are expected to be graduate students, postdocs, or tenure-track assistant professors who already have a major area of research in the study of the Arab world and are interested in practicing Arabic dialectology alongside it. They are expected to hail predominantly from the North-American continent, but qualified applicants from other parts of the world will also be considered. The summer school will concentrate on the techniques for analyzing primary data, teaching participants how to transcribe, analyze, and interpret oral data recorded in the field. By using examples from a variety of dialects it will also introduce the participants to the principles of Arabic dialectology. After completing the summer school, participants will be ready to undertake fieldwork on their own, and are expected to do so. Possible areas of fieldwork will be suggested to them and they will receive financial support for a one-month field trip. The specialists teaching the summer school will supervise the young researchers, and ensuing publications, if deemed suitable, will receive a printing subsidy.
There is no fee payable for attendance at the summer school. The grant from the Gardner Fund will cover the following items: travel to and from Princeton; accommodation on Campus; a small per diem allowance; and lunch each working day.
Application process and deadlines
Applicants should be strongly motivated to embark on research in Arabic dialectology.
They must demonstrate excellent knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic and/or Classical Arabic. The following qualifications are helpful but not a precondition: some previous knowledge of Arabic linguistics/dialectology, practical experience in any one Arabic dialect, and travel in Arab countries.
Applications must be emailed to Sarah Boyce at the Near Eastern Studies Department at Princeton University by September 15, 2010 (seboyce@princeton.edu); those received after this date will be considered only in special circumstances.
The subject line of the email should read: “Princeton Arabic Dialects Summer School 2011 Application.”
The application should comprise the following items:
Letter of application with statement of interest
CV
Transcript, especially documentation of courses taken on Arabic and grades received
Names, positions, and email addresses of up to three referees
All items should be included in a single attachment, which may be a scan.
Applicants may be invited for interviews in November 2010.
Successful applicants will be notified by early December 2010.

THE NIH Intramural-to-India (I-to-I) Program
Research Scholarship Under the US-India Collaboration onPrevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV/AIDS
Job Description : In June 2006, the Indian Minister of Health and Family Welfare and U.S. Secretary ofHealth and Human Services (HHS) signed a Joint Statement for Collaboration onPrevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV/AIDS to promote cooperative
research and research training focused on HIV/AIDS.
The Joint Statement calls for the development of strategic plans for collaboration and tofacilitate the expedited review and clearance of proposed bilateral projects. Both theUnited States of America and India have earmarked funds to support joint research and
training activities pursued under this program. The lead U.S. agency identified to implement activities under this program is the HHS National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the lead Indian agency is the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Department of Biotechnology (DBT). Recognizing NIH’s broad intramural expertise in HIV/AIDS research, the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR) piloted the NIH Intramural-to-India (I-to-I) Program to promote collaborations between NIH intramural scientists and co-investigators in Indian research institutions. The I-to-I Program was launched in fiscal year (FY) 2007 to support oneyear pilot projects from NIH intramural scientists to enhance existing or initiate collaborative research projects with investigators in Indian research institutions.
Description:
For FY 2010/2011, the I-to-I Program is soliciting collaborative research projects focusing on research and research training in HIV-related co-morbidities. Proposals that include a short-term scientist exchange are encouraged. Each proposal can request
support from NIH for a maximum of $100,000 per year. Support will be for a maximum of two years. We anticipate that approximately five awards will be supported; total U.S. and Indian funding of 1 million dollars per year ($500,000 from the U.S. and $500,000 from India).
A similar Call for Proposals will be issued by ICMR and DBT for Indian investigators under this program. NIH intramural and Indian scientists who will be conducting a collaborative research project under this program must jointly draft and submit an application with identical content to NIH and ICMR/DBT. Applications should be in line with application forms and administrative and financial procedures required by each funding entity separately. Awards to Indian investigators will be provided by ICMR
and/or DBT.
Justification for the short-term scientific exchange should be provided, clearly outliningthe need for such an exchange in the context of the research objectives proposed. The short-term scientist exchange proposal must be a component of the proposed research project, and total costs for the research and scientific exchange components should not exceed $100,000 total cost. A stand alone short-term scientist exchange proposal without a research proposal will not be accepted. The short-term-scientist exchange component can not be used to support Indian researchers who are already in an NIH intramural laboratory or who have been previously identified for support from other sources. The exchange may be from one week to sixmonths in duration. (Note: This program provides support only for the Indian researcher; no support will be provided for family members, financial or documentary.)Under this Call for Proposal, NIH intramural scientists are eligible for short-term visits that are limited to one month in duration.
Eligibility:
NIH intramural investigators who are currently collaborating with an Indian investigatorand would like to propose a new project or who would like to develop a new collaboration with an investigator from an Indian institution are eligible.
Note: Each NIH intramural scientist may submit only one proposal.
Instructions for FY 2010-2011 Proposals:
Proposals are to be submitted electronically as a PDF attachment to:
Ms. Gail Wolfson
Office of AIDS Research
wolfsong@mail.nih.gov
Proposals submitted should include a letter or email affirming the endorsement/approval of the IC Scientific Director or their Designee.
Research proposals submitted by the NIH intramural investigator must contain the
following:
o Abstract of the project that describes the research, need, and significance of the proposed study.
o Research plan that includes a description of the project, monitoring plans if required, and expected outcomes. The research described must be a new initiative; this initiative is not intended to replace or supplement funding for ongoing projects.
o Research proposal should not exceed five pages; this limit does not include the abstract, references, collaboration plan, or the budget.
o Letter from the Indian collaborator describing his/her activities and specific role in the project and their anticipated budget.
o Biosketch from the Principal Investigator (PI) and Indian Co-PI.
