Procedure
The Developmental Sciences Hybridoma Bank (DSHB) Humanities Scholar Award provides support to tenured CLAS faculty for an approved research project within the humanities, including the digital humanities.
Approximately three awards will be made for 2024-2025, depending upon amounts requested. Awards with budgets ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 may be used for professional travel, materials, hardware or personnel needed specifically for digital projects, or other defined research needs. Funds must be spent within two years of receipt of the award. Awards are expected to result in at least one of the following: a project for publication, a national/international presentation, or a grant application to a major external source such as the NEH or ACLS. Awardees will report briefly on their DSHB-funded activity at the close of the award period.
