I would like to develop a new website to present material on a humanities topic. Is that the right sort of project for a Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant?
Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants are conceived as grants to support the initial phases of projects offering innovative approaches to the use of emerging technologies in the humanities. Projects that simply use existing technologies to make new materials more readily available are therefore unlikely to receive Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants. If, however, your proposed work involves the early stages in the development of new Web technologies or new methods of indexing or incorporating metadata into an online collection, you would appear to have a stronger case for receiving a Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant.
