Philosophy of Funding
When working on major grants, we encourage DSG projects to create proposals building infrastructure that could potentially support multiple projects, and keep re-use and shared results in mind.
Grant Calendar
Areas of Focus
- Funding the development of infrastructure through grant proposals that will let us build layers onto the DRS Project Toolkit
- Picking those layers so they will serve a wide range of projects
- Thinking about layers 2,3 and 5 years out
- Professional development for graduate students and librarians
- Projects building on deep TEI and XML expertise.
National Grants
// Build out brief descriptions of grant programs, types of programs funded here //

Foundations and Non-profits
- Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR)
- Hidden Collections -- April 30, 2015
- The Spencer Foundation
- The Ford Foundation
Regional and Local Grants
- Search grants databases like Pivot for opportunities related to project content or theme (Catskills, ECDA others have strong content focus that might be of interest to foundations or specialized grants)
Contacts (Northeastern)
Marybeth Savicki (corporate and foundation relations)
Hillary Corbett (campus Pivot expert)
Application Boilerplate
- Institutional context language
- About the DSG language
Recommendations for Projects
- Experiment with internal grants first, such as Tier 1 grants from the Provost's Office.
- DSG will build a checklist for new awardees.
- DSG will build advice and suggestions for good practices for DSG projects: what to expect, and what to expect if you want our help. Include template /typical grant timeline (i.e., it takes 8 weeks to develop a proposal, based on our experience.)
Grant Ideas
- Visualization tools for OJS, Bookworm perhaps?
- Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities: building off the proposed 2015 summer institute event; potential collaboration with the NULab in 2016?
