If you are interested in attending the Digital Humanities Grant Development Workshop on Saturday, November 8th please contact Stanley Dubinsky, Professor of Linguistics, at [email protected] as soon as possible. In the email, please provide your name, degree program, and email address, along with a short (100-200 word) description of your proposal. If you do not yet have a proposal and wish to attend as an observer, please indicate that as well. This workshop is a follow-up to the Digital Humanities Research Methods course taught this past summer. While the workshop is primarily for the benefit of students who were enrolled in that course, we are pleased to extend this opportunity to selected graduate students working in areas such as Anthropology, Comparative Literature, English Literature, Film and Media Studies, Geography, Linguistics, Political Science, and Rhetoric. This workshop is intended for students who are developing humanities/social science research proposals that have a digital component to them, and who would like to have feedback before submitting applications for funding (this would include both external programs such as NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13453 as well as internal programs such as the SPARC Graduate Research Grant Program sc.edu/about/offices_and_divisions/research/internal_funding_awards/students/sparc/). Students contemplating the development of proposals of this nature, who would like to further their understanding of what such research proposals involve, are also welcome to apply and will be invited to participate as space permits. Workshop participants will – • Submit a draft or outline of the proposal currently under development, along with information describing the funding program(s) being applied to and the evaluation criteria used to judge submissions. • Read drafts of each other’s proposals before the date of the workshop. • Provide a short (10-15 minute) synopsis of their proposals to the group, followed by questions and comments. Workshop feedback will address research project design, methodology, feasibility, budget, and the proposal’s fit with the evaluation criteria of the intended funding source(s).
