| Digital Humanities
Start-Up Grants By awarding relatively small grants to support
the planning stages, NEH aims to encourage the development of innovative
projects that promise to benefit the humanities. Proposals should be for
the planning or initial stages of digital initiatives in any area of the
humanities. Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants may involve research that
brings new approaches or documents best practices in the study of the
digital humanities; planning and developing prototypes of new digital
tools for preserving, analyzing, and making accessible digital
resources, including libraries' and museums' digital assets; scholarship
that examines the philosophical implications and impact of the use of
emerging technologies; innovative uses of technology for public
programming and education utilizing both traditional and new media; and
new digital modes of publication that facilitate the dissemination of
humanities scholarship in advanced academic as well as informal or
formal educational settings at all academic levels. Innovation is a
hallmark of this grant category.
