The Foundation seeks immediate assistance in funding for the following projects:

1. The creation of the first Nôm dictionary printed in true type. Each character will be entered in the ISO Standard. The characters gleaned from our dictionary will be computer accessible to scholars and librarians worldwide as well as to ordinary Vietnamese wanting to know more about their cultural heritage. This is a $45,690 project.

2. Nôm Scholarships in Vietnam, both for American Ph.D. candidates including Nôm in their dissertation work and for high school and college students in Vietnam who wish to learn Nôm. $10,000 for the next 2 years.

3. An international conference on Nôm: We have agreed to co-sponsor, with the Viện Hán-Nôm in Vietnam, an international conference to take place in Hanoi in October, 2004. $44,800.

4. Our Nôm Na office. We have created an office in Hanoi and have employed five university students who know some Nôm with good computer skills. Our office has already been approached by scholars in Vietnam and abroad who wish our help in retrieving and printing ancient texts. We hope it becomes an ongoing institution. $7,000/year.

5. Publication of two old Nôm texts. We are committed to the printing of two ancient Nôm dictionaries with the Trung Tâm Nghiên Cứu Quốc Học, The National Culture Studies Institute in Ho Chi Minh City. $8000.
