Collaborative Research Grants

Apply to work with the CDH Research Software Engineering team to accelerate your digital humanities projects. We focus on short-term (6 month) collaborations where we partner with you to develop new software or workflows that enable or expand your ability to use computational or data-intensive methods in your research.

We solicit proposal for new projects annually through our collaborative research grants. Please plan to attend our information session at the start of the Spring semester for more details on the application process. Applications are due late February.

If you have an idea for a project, we would love to hear from you! Please sign up for a consultation to talk to a RSE team member.

Grantees receive $5,000 (award will be split if there are faculty co-PIs), and research funds up to $3,000 for student assistants ($25/hour for graduate students; $15/hour for undergraduates). Funds will be transferred to home departments for administration.

Grantees will be matched with CDH staff with relevant expertise, and will collaboratively develop a project charter that will guide the project development. Grantees are expected to be available for regular meetings (in person or on Zoom) with CDH staff during the course of the award.

Grantees will be required to submit a final report at the conclusion of their award, along with a spending report. Unused research funds will be returned to the CDH at the conclusion of the grant period.
