Description
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Office of Digital Humanities invites applications for the Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities program. This grant supports national or regional (multistate) training programs designed to broaden and deepen the knowledge of digital humanities among scholars, humanities professionals, and advanced graduate students.
The program aims to increase the number of humanities scholars and practitioners who use digital technology in their research and to disseminate knowledge about advanced digital tools and methodologies relevant to the humanities. Institutes may focus on specific computational methods (e.g., network or spatial analysis), target particular humanities disciplines or audiences, and vary in length from a few days to six weeks. They can be hosted at single or multiple sites or virtually.
NEH encourages multidisciplinary teams that include intellectual, technical, and practical expertise, potentially involving partners from outside the applicant’s institution and from both public and private sectors, including international collaborators. Proposals should consider practical applications and ethical implications of the institute topic for humanities research, teaching, or public programming.
This program is part of NEH’s Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence initiative, which supports research on the ethical, legal, and societal implications of AI.
