Grants

The goal of DHIB Working Groups is to support sustained interdisciplinary collaboration in an area of digital humanities research. Budgets which exceed the announced maximum may be considered if a compelling need is demonstrated. Working groups may apply for more than one year's funding, and should specify milestones to be completed during the first year as conditions of renewed funding. Working groups must consist of

• at least two regular full-time tenure-line faculty (including library faculty) in the humanities and related disciplines who are currently on staff and will remain on staff for the duration of the project, and
• at least two other participants who may be UB faculty, affiliated scholars from other institutions, or UB professional staff. Proposals which actively involve graduate students and which include participating faculty from multiple disciplines are encouraged and may be favored during the reviewing process.

The goal of the DHIB Fellow funding category is to enable a faculty member with a strong record of achievement in digital humanities to devote significant time to completion of a digital project. Budgets which exceed the announced maximum may be considered if a compelling need is demonstrated.The record of achievement will normally include successful completion of projects funded through the Small Research or Working Groups categories or the equivalent. The award allows for one course release for a single semester and funds to pay for student assistance. Funds may be partially allocated to conference travel. Regular full-time tenure-line faculty (including library faculty) in the humanities and related disciplines are eligible to apply.
