Collaborations among individuals, departments, colleges, and institutions are encouraged; however, the principal investigator of the grant application must have an appointment in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Applications will be reviewed by the CHSS Center for the Digital Humanities Faculty Advisory Committee and recommendations provided to the Dean for final determination.
GRANT CATEGORIES
CHSS Digital Humanities Seed Grant ($1,000) – Two Awards
The CHSS Center for the Digital Humanities Seed Grants are intended to provide summer stipends for developing external grant applications focused on the Digital Humanities. Projects already receiving Dean’s office funding will not be considered. The period for the grant development is the summer of 2017.
Upon submission of the grant, Seed Grant awardees will send a copy of the grant proposal application (including proof of submission) to The Center. Although funds need to be expensed by August 31st, 2017, proof of grant submission must be provided to the Center by the grant deadline date. Awardees are required to submit a brief executive summary on the subject of the grant proposal. Successful applicants will present their work to the university community during the fall semester, in coordination with the Center, and will have a description of their research posted on the Center’s website.
CHSS Digital Humanities Project Grant ($4,000) – Two Awards
The CHSS Center for the Digital Humanities Project Grants are intended to provide summer stipends to support an ongoing Digital Humanities research project. The work is to take place, and funds expensed, no later than August 31st, 2017. Projects already receiving Dean’s Office funding are ineligible; those with existing external grant funding will have priority.
Award recipients must submit an activity report to the Director of the CHSS Center for the Digital Humanities no later than Monday, December 4th. Guidelines for the activity report will be made available on the Center’s website in the fall. Awardees are to provide a description of the research and its results to be posted to the CHSS Center for the Digital Humanities web site, and to give a formal research presentation on the work during the ensuing academic year, as coordinated with the Center.
