Collaborative and community-based research models have increasingly been the interests in the field of language documentation and revitalization. Since its inception in 2008, the Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang) has been a biennial venue for researchers and community language workers to receive intensive training in collaborative language research responding to the global need for quality language documentation in the face of the world-wide crisis in language endangerment. In 2020, CoLang will be held at the University of Montana (UM), co-hosted by UM and Chief Dull Knife College (CDKC -- a two-year tribal college of the Northern Cheyenne in Montana). It will bring stakeholders together to develop collaborative practices and extend networking among all participants including language workers, language activists, language teachers, undergraduate and graduate students, and linguists from both academic and language communities. In partnering with each other, CoLang 2020 co-hosts (UM and CDKC) will demonstrate an Indigenous/non-Indigenous collaboration at the organizational level and encourage participation from the Indigenous communities of the United States and Canada. The Institute has continuously advanced knowledge in linguistics by its role in developing and sharing cutting edge practices in the scientific, ethical and sustainable methods for understanding the linguistic structure of the world's estimated 7,000 languages and for understanding the complex and important role language plays at the community level. Broader impacts of project activities includes the training of a wide range of audiences in skills in community-centered language documentation, supporting and building capacity at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in STEM through the language sciences and the broadening participation of American Indians and Alaska Natives in the language sciences. With prior Institutes held in 2008 (University of California, Santa Barbara), 2010 (University of Oregon), 2012 (University of Kansas), 2014 (University of Texas-Arlington), 2016 (University of Alaska-Fairbanks), and 2018 (University of Florida), CoLang has developed a significant track record of national and international success, and previous participants have incorporated their Institute experiences into successful fieldwork projects and community documentation activities worldwide. CoLang 2020 will devote five weeks to intensive training in collaborative approaches to language documentation. The first two weeks will consist of focused workshops and organized discussions, providing hands-on training in the latest linguistic technology, interdisciplinary methods, and best practices in ethical community collaborations. The following three weeks are dedicated to "practica" (intensive field methods), where students will work directly with speakers of selected endangered languages to learn documentation methods and applications first-hand, integrating the skills acquired during the preceding workshops. The Institute is at the forefront of methodology development through the intensive training facilitated by co-instructors coming from the international community of indigenous and academic experts in linguistic and interdisciplinary researchers. Importantly, CoLang 2020 activities in this area continue to support models of robust, reliable, and ethical research in the social and behavioral sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

协作和基于社区的研究模式越来越引起语言文献和振兴领域的兴趣。自 2008 年成立以来，协作语言研究所 (CoLang) 一直是研究人员和社区语言工作者每两年接受一次协作语言研究强化培训的场所，以应对全球范围内语言濒临危机时对高质量语言文献的需求。 2020年，CoLang将在蒙大拿大学（UM）举行，由蒙大拿大学和Chief Dull Knife College（CDKC——蒙大拿州北夏延的一所两年制部落学院）共同主办。它将把利益相关者聚集在一起，开发合作实践，并扩大所有参与者之间的联系，包括语言工作者、语言活动家、语言教师、本科生和研究生以及来自学术界和语言界的语言学家。通过相互合作，CoLang 2020 联合主办方（UM 和 CDKC）将在组织层面展示原住民/非原住民合作，并鼓励美国和加拿大原住民社区的参与。该研究所通过开发和分享科学、道德和可持续方法的前沿实践，不断推进语言学知识的发展，以了解世界上大约 7,000 种语言的语言结构，并了解语言在社区层面发挥的复杂而重要的作用。项目活动的更广泛影响包括培训广大受众以社区为中心的语言记录技能，通过语言科学支持和建设部落学院和大学 (TCU) 在 STEM 方面的能力，以及扩大美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民对语言科学的参与。 之前的学院曾于 2008 年（加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校）、2010 年（俄勒冈大学）、2012 年（堪萨斯大学）、2014 年（德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校）、2016 年（阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校）和 2018 年（佛罗里达大学）举办，CoLang 已在国内和国际上取得了成功，之前的参与者已将他们的学院经验纳入其中全球范围内成功的实地考察项目和社区文献活动。 CoLang 2020 将用五周时间进行语言文档协作方法的强化培训。前两周将包括重点研讨会和有组织的讨论，提供最新语言技术、跨学科方法和道德社区合作最佳实践的实践培训。接下来的三周致力于“实践”（强化实地方法），学生将直接与选定的濒危语言的使用者一起学习第一手的文献记录方法和应用，整合在之前的研讨会中获得的技能。该研究所通过来自国际社会语言和跨学科研究人员的土著和学术专家的联合讲师的强化培训，处于方法开发的前沿。重要的是，CoLang 2020 在这一领域的活动继续支持社会和行为科学领域稳健、可靠和道德的研究模型。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
