Digital Humanities Advancement Grants (DHAG) support digital projects at different stages throughout their lifecycles, from early start-up phases through implementation and sustainability. Experimentation, reuse, and extensibility are hallmarks of this program, leading to innovative work that can scale to enhance scholarly research, teaching, and public programming in the humanities. You can find a discussion of the forms that experimentation can take in the Frequently Asked Questions document.
This program is offered twice per year. Proposals are welcome for digital initiatives in any area of the humanities.
Through a special partnership with NEH and pending the availability of appropriated funds, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) anticipates providing additional funding to this program to encourage innovative collaborations between museum or library professionals and humanities professionals to advance preservation of, access to, use of, and engagement with digital collections and services. IMLS and NEH may jointly fund some DHAG projects that involve collaborations with museums and/or libraries.
Digital Humanities Advancement Grants may involve
creating or enhancing experimental, computationally-based methods, techniques, or infrastructure that contribute to the humanities;
pursuing scholarship that examines the history, criticism, and philosophy of digital culture and its impact on society; or
conducting evaluative studies that investigate the practices and the impact of digital scholarship on research, pedagogy, scholarly communication, and public engagement.
What’s New for 2019
Projects may involve researching and evaluating the practices of digital humanities and the impact of digital humanities.
For projects seeking to revitalize an existing digital humanities project, funds from this program may be used only for planning at the Level I stage.
Digital Humanities Advancement Grants at both Level I and Level II stages may now support activities for periods of performance (award periods) up to twenty-four months.
