Digital Humanities Initiative at Buffalo (dHIb) Funding

The Digital Humanities Initiative at Buffalo (dHIb) invites proposals for funding twice yearly.

DHIB Working Group

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.

Due date: Friday, 18 November 2011 - 5:00pm

Maximum award: $3,500

DHIB Small Research Projects

The goal of DHIB small research project funding is to support the initiation or continuation of digital humanities projects by individual scholars or small teams. Budget requests which exceed the announced maximum may be considered if a compelling need is demonstrated. A given project can only receive funding through this program once in an academic budget year. However, unsuccessful applications submitted for the fall deadline may be revised and resubmitted in the spring.

Regular full-time tenure-line humanities faculty (including library faculty) in the humanities and related disciplines may apply for funding. Graduate students may be funded for work on their own projects, provided that the application for support is submitted by a faculty sponsor who meets the eligibility criteria to apply for a small research project and who agrees to supervise the project and advise the graduate student on how to fulfill the administrative requirements associated with DHIB funding. Any relationship between the proposed activity and the graduate student’s thesis research should be explicitly indicated.

Due date: Friday, 18 November 2011 - 5:00pmTuesday, 31 January 2012 - 5:00pm

Maximum award: $2,400
