Thanks to all your suggestions, especially the practical help I got from OldProf!, I'm rewriting my project description. It'll take a while before I'm done (to many things at hand right now) but I'll keep y'all posted. I may use this project proposal not just for the 50Crows grant but also for a Mongolian grant. At least it'll give my brother-in-law an idea of what my project aims at.
I'll see if there's any possibility here in Holland for some sort of grant to do this project. Not that I need the money to cover expenses; I need the money to buy me more free days (yes, I can buy free days from my employer. Beats being unemployed). 🙂
Thanks, everyone. I may be on a new "career" path.
