The Linguistics Program (PD-98-1311) is a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) that funds scientific research in linguistics, including studies of language structure, acquisition, processing, and variation. Supported under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences directorate (CFDA 47.075), this discretionary grant program supports innovative research contributing to fundamental understanding of human language. Eligible applicants include researchers at U.S. universities and institutions. Cost sharing is not required. Specific award amounts and deadlines vary by announcement cycle; applicants should consult the current program description on grants.gov for updated submission requirements.

Linguistics Program (incl. DLI-DEL via NSF/NEH) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Supports basic research on human language, including endangered-language documentation infrastructure (DLI-DEL), for institutions of higher education. This program is highly relevant to linguistics AI as it supports foundational research in human language.

Law & Science (LS) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). The Law & Science Program considers proposals that address social scientific studies of law and law-like systems of rules, as well as studies of how science and technology are applied in legal contexts. It supports research that advances scientific theory and understanding of the connections between human behavior and law, legal institutions, or legal processes. Topics can include Human Rights and Comparative Law.

Law & Science (LS) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). The Law & Science (LS) program is an interdisciplinary and multi-methodological program that supports research on the connection between human behavior and law, legal institutions, or the legal process. The program addresses behavioral and social science studies of law and law-like systems of rule.

The National Deep Inference Fabric (NDIF) is an NSF-funded ($9 million) collaborative research platform at Northeastern University providing US researchers free remote access to large pretrained AI models for detailed and reproducible experiments on model internals. The platform uniquely reveals internal computations of LLMs that are currently unavailable in academic settings, enabling research on AI transparency, interpretability, alignment, and safety. Leverages National Center for Supercomputing Applications DeltaAI high-capacity AI cluster. Supports research across medicine, neuroscience, linguistics, social sciences, humanities, and ethical AI development.
