ECAI Austronesia is an ongoing mapping process based on language and culture generally with specific collaborative team expectations. Projects are dependent on the goals of the researchers fitting into the parameters of ECAI objectives. The progress of the ECAI Austronesia Team has been significantly assisted by two grants by the University of California Berkeley Shung Ye Museum of Formosan Aborigines Endowment Fund to David Blundell and Michael Buckland. The funding came through the generosity of the N.W. Lin Foundation for Culture and Education. The grants were "Austronesian Electronic Atlas Initiative Linguistic Mapping" in 2000, "Mapping Formosan Austronesian Languages" in 2001, and "Taiwan Aboriginal Language Dispersal: Mapping of the Batanic Language Distribution of Lan-yu (Taiwan) and the Batanes of the Philippines as a Regional Digital Cultural Atlas" in 2003-2004.
