Philosophy of Funding
We encourage DSG projects to create grant proposals that builds 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 //
Federal
- National Endowment for the Humanities
- Collaborative Research (CR) " grants support interpretive humanities research undertaken by a team of two or more scholars, for full-time or part-time activities for periods of one to three years" -- December 9, 2015
- Humanities Collections and Reference Resources (HCRR), can be for implementation or planning/pilot/assessment -- July 21, 2015
- Preservation and Access Research and Development (PARD) "grants support projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing access to humanities collections and resources" -- June 25, 2015
- Digital Humanities Implementation (DHI) "fund the implementation of innovative digital-humanities projects that have successfully completed a start-up phase and demonstrated their value to the field" -- presumed February 18, 2016
- Institute for Library and Museum Services
- Laura Bush "supports projects to recruit and educate the next generation of librarians, faculty, and library leaders; and to support early career research. It also assists in the professional development of librarians and library staff" -- presumed September 15, 2015
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 specialized 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)
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?
