Opportunity Summary:
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Digital Humanities Start Up Grants program is a discretionary grant opportunity meant to spark innovation in the digital humanities by funding early-stage work. The central idea is to provide relatively small amounts of support so teams can explore, plan, test, and prototype promising digital projects before they move into larger-scale development. NEH is looking for proposals that sit at the planning or initial implementation phase of a digital initiative in any humanities area, with an emphasis on ideas that can strengthen humanities research, teaching, preservation, public engagement, or scholarly communication through thoughtful use of technology.
Projects supported under this program can take several forms. Applicants may propose research that introduces new approaches to digital humanities work or documents best practices that others can adopt. Funding can also support the planning and development of prototypes for digital tools that help preserve, analyze, and improve access to digital resources, including assets held by libraries and museums. In addition, the program welcomes humanities scholarship that examines digital culture itself, such as work on the history, criticism, or philosophy of digital culture and its broader social impact. NEH also encourages studies that dig into the practical or philosophical implications of emerging technologies within particular humanities fields, or across interdisciplinary collaborations that involve multiple disciplines. Beyond research and tool-building, the program is open to innovative uses of technology for public programming and education that blend traditional and newer media, as well as new digital publishing models designed to expand how humanities scholarship is disseminated in advanced academic settings and in formal or informal education at all academic levels.
Key administrative details include a funding opportunity number of 20120925 HD, with the opportunity titled "Digital Humanities Start up Grants." The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under Humanities (CFDA 45.169, Promotion of the Humanities) and administered by NEH's Office of Digital Humanities. The award ceiling is listed as $60,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor $0). The posted and creation date are June 8, 2012, and the original and current application deadline is September 25, 2012, with an archive date of October 25, 2012. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; state, county, city/township, and special district governments; and nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they are not institutions of higher education in the non-501(c)(3) category). For more information, NEH points applicants to the program page at http://www.neh.gov/grants/odh/digital humanities start grants.
