(the DHH project has now completed all proposal rounds)
DHH Summer Grants provide a stipend for individuals working during the summer on digital humanities projects that focus on teaching, curricular development, research, or a combination of any of these areas. Individuals may propose projects feasibly designed for a duration of 2 to 8 weeks during the summer. The maximum stipend is $2300 per individual for an 8-week project. Collaborative projects are welcome.
While all appropriate digital humanities projects are welcome and will be considered, for Summer 2017 priority consideration will be given to full-time research projects, then to full-time projects in any of the other areas, and then to shorter discrete projects in any area.
To be eligible, you must
- meet all the DHH project eligibility requirements.
- attend an incubator session.
Applications are due by noon on February 24th, 2017. Download the application form.
To Apply:
Attend one of the DHH incubators.
- Incubators are informal, low-risk planning sessions that provide opportunities for 1) brainstorming ideas with colleagues and members of the DH team, and 2) small-group and individual consultation with DH team members to help shape your project/proposal.
- You’re welcome to attend any (and as many) DH Incubators you want–no matter where you are in the process of thinking about a project or developing a proposal for DHH funding. While much of the information and consulting provided is generally applicable, each Incubator is also geared toward its corresponding DHH grant.
- There are four DHH Incubator dates for this academic year: September 23, 2016 focusing on DHH January Grants, October 21, 2016 focusing on DHH-CURI Grants, and January 19 & 20, 2017 for DHH Summer Grants. On September 23 and October 21, sessions are available at the following times: 9:00 am, 10:45 am, 12:55 pm, and 3:15 pm. Members of the DH Team will repeat the same programming at each session.
Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by March 31, 2017.
Acceptance of a DHH January Grant offer entails the following responsibilities:
- Arranging an individual pre-project consultation for Spring 2017 by contacting the DH Team (dh@stolaf.edu). This consultation will focus on first steps and project management.
- Meeting with a member of the DH Team on a regular basis (as determined in the pre-project consultation) during the tenure of the grant.
- Participating in DHH/IT-sponsored events that showcase your work, and sharing this work with the campus community and beyond.
- Participating in a wrap-up interview at the end of the grant period.
- Submitting a final report to Dolores Peters, DHH Project Director (petersdo@stolaf.edu) by September 29, 2017, that includes
- a description of the work you did during the grant period,
- the final outcome of your work during the grant period,
- an indication of the next steps you’ll take on the project, and
- your plans for using and/or disseminating your work (e.g. a publication, a conference presentation, presenting your work on campus at a workshop, CILA lunch, or conference).
