Evans-Glasscock Digital Humanities Project Fellowship

ABOUT: The Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research and the Texas A&M University Libraries' Sterling C. Evans Chair jointly fund a program to assist the early development of projects in digital humanities. This program will assist faculty in any department in the university by providing up to $10,000 to a project in digital humanities (collaborative or singly directed).

Applicants are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with existing resources by contacting any of the following:

• Center for the Study of Digital Libraries (contact furuta@cs.tamu.edu)
• College of Liberal Arts’ Digital Humanities Initiative (contact m-ives@tamu.edu)
• Texas A&M University Libraries’ Digital Initiatives Research and Technology (contact di@tamu.edu)

Recipients will be expected to give a presentation about their funded project, provide an account of how the funds awarded were expended, and submit a report on the progress this award made possible.

ELIGIBILITY: This program supports faculty scholars in any department in the university with up to $10,000 for collaborative or singly directed projects. Preference may be given to untenured or newly tenured faculty.

This program is meant to offer significant but flexible assistance to faculty – as individuals or in collaborative teams – whose scholarly project depends on or is fundamentally inflected by information technology, digitization, and computer-aided research. The program is especially aimed at those who have embarked on or who are keen to embark on research in the humanities that is ‘born digital.’

APPLICATION: Applications should include the title of the project, a 500-1000 word statement describing a) the nature of the project, b) the general uses to which the Evans/Glasscock funding will be directed, and c) the expected research outcome from this support, including grants to be sought, publications and presentations anticipated, and so on; an itemized budget; and a description and amount of other sources of funding for this project, current, anticipated, and applied for.

A committee comprising faculty from various disciplines will evaluate applications on the basis of their originality, feasibility, and potential for external funding and for publication.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS: Please send the following as an attachment to your application:

• A c.v. (or equivalent documentation) of no more than three pages noting accomplishments and qualifications germane to the project at hand

Applications will be considered incomplete until all information has been received, at which time an e-mail confirming receipt will be sent to you.
