Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants
Deadline: November 15, 2006 & April 3, 2007
Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants is the first new program under theNEH’s new Digital Humanities Initiative. The name ''Start-Up Grant'' isdeliberately evocative of the technology start-up--a company like anApple Computer or a Google that took a brilliant idea and, with a smallamount of seed money, was able to grow it into a new way of doingbusiness. NEH's Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants will encouragescholars with bright new ideas and provide the funds to get theirprojects off the ground. Some projects will be practical, otherscompletely blue sky. Some will fail while others will succeed wildly anddevelop into important projects. But all will incorporate new ways ofstudying the humanities.
The cross-divisional nature of the Start-Up Grants is a key. Applicantsdon't need to be concerned with determining exactly which NEHdivision or program is best suited for their projects. Their job is to beinnovative and the NEH's job is to provide the funding they need to besuccessful. NEH staff will work with potential applicants in the pre-application stages to help them craft their submissions.
NEH Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants are offered for the planning orinitial stages of digital humanities initiatives in all areas of NEHconcern: research, publication, preservation, access, teacher training,and dissemination in informal or formal educational settings.Applications should describe the concept or problem that is beingaddressed, the plan of work, the experience of the project team as itrelates to the plan, and the intended outcomes of both the grant andthe larger project that the grant will initiate.
