This application is for faculty members from Davidson College, George Washington University, PVAMU, and Rice University who wish to begin or continue a digital humanities research project. Successful applicants will receive $5000 in research funds as well as an additional $6000 to hire two student assistants (undergrad or grad) for the project, one of whom must be from a *different* institution than the grant recipient's. Each project must be supported by a librarian from the faculty member's own institution: additional funds for digital training are available for librarians and students as well as for faculty. Deadline for applications is March 23, 2018 and projects must be completed by February 28, 2019. Questions? Write resilnetworks@gwu.edu.

Name of collaborating librarian

Faculty digital humanities projects for the Resilient Networks initiative should eventually include a librarian who will serve as a research partner and/or technical assistant, but you need not have a commitment from a librarian yet to apply.

Research project title *

Example: "Mapping Mestizaje: Family Networks in the Colonial Andes"

Research project description *

Please describe the research goals and methods of your project in 800 words or less. What do you hope to discover or present, and how? In what ways do you imagine working collaboratively with librarians and students? We will evaluate project descriptions on three criteria: 1) whether the project seems likely to make an original interpretive contribution to humanities scholarship, advancing a scholarly argument through digital means and tools rather than building a digital library or database without an interpretive argument or a new interpretive medium; 2) whether the scope of the work described seems likely to be doable within 9-12 months; and 3) whether the project seems likely to provide significant learning experiences in digital and/or humanities skills for affiliated librarians and student assistants.
