Funders

CELT gratefully acknowledges the assistance of its funders:

Professor Marianne McDonald has supported CELT 2000-2004 with a core grant through the American Ireland Funds.

The Irish Higher Education Authority has supported CELT first from 2000-2003 as part of the PRTLI 1 Documents of Ireland Project with €73,000.

The HEA has again supported CELT, and eDIL at the University of Ulster in Coleraine, from 2003-2006 under Strand 1 of the North-South Collaborative Scheme, with €257,000 (€131,000 for CELT and €126,000 for eDIL). This grant was awarded for the Project Linking Dictionaries and Texts conducted at University College Cork and the University of Ulster.

The Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences has awarded CELT a Government of Ireland Project Grant of €178,000 under the theme "Research Infrastructures in the Humanities and Social Sciences" for the period 2005-2008. The award will be used to create a Digital Dinneen, an electronic dictionary on the CELT website.

University College Cork provides CELT with technical support and benefits in kind.
The President's Strategic Fund awarded CELT seed funding for Writers of Ireland in November 2005. In 2006, we have been fortunate in raising funds through a Charity Art Auction.

In 2007, CELT gratefully acknowledges the invaluable contribution of the UCC Arts Faculty, which allowed us to continue our research on 2007 and into 2008.

In 2008 was awarded a grant from the HEA under PRTLI 4 which will fund it until 2010.
