Grant Description

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) invites applications to the Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants program. This program is designed to encourage innovations in the digital humanities. By awarding relatively small grants to support the planning stages, NEH aims to encourage the development of innovative projects that promise to benefit the humanities. Proposals should be for the planning or initial stages of digital initiatives in any area of the humanities. Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants may involve ╔ research that brings new approaches or documents best practices in the study of the digital humanities; ╔ planning and developing prototypes of new digital tools for preserving, analyzing, and making accessible digital resources, including librariesу and museumsу digital assets; ╔ scholarship that focuses on the history, criticism, and philosophy of digital culture and its impact on society; ╔ scholarship or studies that examine the philosophical or practical implications and impact of the use of emerging technologies in specific fields or disciplines of the humanities, or in interdisciplinary collaborations involving several fields or disciplines; ╔ innovative uses of technology for public programming and education utilizing both traditional and new media; and ╔ new digital modes of publication that facilitate the dissemination of humanities scholarship in advanced academic as well as informal or formal educational settings at all academic levels.
