Humanities Accelerator
Supporting research, collaboration, and innovation in the humanities
The Humanities Accelerator was a group consultation program CDH led in collaboration with the Office of the Dean for Research and the Vice Dean for Innovation during the Fall 2023 semester.
The goal of the Humanities Accelerator was to provide targeted, developmental support for social science and humanities researchers in order to expand Princeton’s capacity for research, collaboration, and innovation. Our aims were to help researchers
- bring their ideas to life;
- understand the stakes of scoping projects for positive growth and long-term success;
- communicate their ideas to a broader audience;
- cultivate relationships with institutional partners early and often, rather than striking out on their own too quickly.
In personalized two-hour group consultations, the Humanities Accelerator connected project teams to key campus partners, including the Keller Center for Innovation, Digital Scholarship (DiScho), Web Development Services, Research Computing, and the Office of Research and Project Administration, among others.
