This award supports a range of activities to upgrade the Sino-Tibetan Etymological Dictionary and Thesaurus (STEDT), which was begun in 1987, and which has been supported by grants from both the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment of the Humanities. STEDT's mission is to clarify the history of Sino-Tibetan, one of the greatest linguistic families of the world, with over a billion speakers, consisting of Chinese on the one hand, and the 250 understudied languages of the vast Tibeto-Burman group on the other. To achieve this goal, STEDT has created large computer databases of almost 1,000,000 words from these languages, culled from some 500 sources, ranging from published dictionaries and wordlists to questionnaires solicited from field researchers, and 3,000 proto-Sino-Tibetan roots and root variants. Among the activities to be supported by this award are further development of the database; continued etymological research, particularly comparing Chinese and Tibeto-Burman; new research on several Tibeto-Burman subgroups, including Lolo-Burmese, Kuki-Chin, Naga, Himalayish, Qiangic, Karenic, Nungish and Bodo-Garo; and the creation of a permanent public archive of both the raw project data and project findings.

该奖项支持一系列升级汉藏词源词典和同义词库（STEDT）的活动，该活动始于 1987 年，并得到了美国国家科学基金会和国家人文基金会的资助。 STEDT 的使命是阐明汉藏语的历史，汉藏语是世界上最伟大的语言家族之一，拥有超过 10 亿使用者，一方面包括汉语，另一方面还有庞大的藏缅语族的 250 种待研究语言。为了实现这一目标，STEDT 创建了大型计算机数据库，其中包含这些语言中的近 1,000,000 个单词，这些单词是从大约 500 个来源（从出版的词典和单词列表到实地研究人员收集的问卷）中挑选出来的，以及 3,000 个原始汉藏语词根和词根变体。该奖项支持的活动包括进一步开发数据库；继续进行词源学研究，特别是汉语和藏缅语的比较；对几个藏缅语亚群的新研究，包括洛洛缅甸语、库基钦语、那加语、喜马拉雅语、羌语语、克伦语语、努吉什语和博多加罗语；建立原始项目数据和项目结果的永久公共档案。
