Fellowship Opportunity: Digital Humanities Centers

From Fiona Barrett, Director, HASTAC Scholars

Fellowships at Digital Humanities Centers:
The NEH is sponsoring a number of Fellowships that will be take place at Digital Humanities Centers. Dante Noto, the Associate Director of the University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI), has graciously offered to work with one applicant to apply for this NEH grant. Should the grant be awarded, the Fellow would work through the UCHRI and all details would be worked out between the successful applicant and the Institute.

How to apply:
We are hoping someone in our HASTAC network is interested in pursuing this very exciting fellowship opportunity at UCHRI. Dante is currently collecting the information from interested applicants. He will be out of the office until August 17, so will not be able to respond to inquiries until then.

Please email him, before August 17:
- Your name, current position (post-doc, salaried position, faculty, etc.), & contact information
- C.V.
- A short introduction to your work and what project you would like to pursue with this grant. A few paragraphs should suffice -- the successful applicant and Dante will develop the NEH application more fully together. The point is to introduce him to your work and see if your application would be appropriate for both the grant and for the UCHRI.
- UCHRI will collect these suggestions, and will pursue the NEH grant with one applicant.

Eligibility:
A few brief words on eligibility. Check the grant site for more details:
- You cannot be a student at this time - you could have completed any level of education (usually an MA or Ph.D.) by the application deadline, but cannot be a current student at a degree-granting institution.

- You must be either a US Citizen *OR* you can be a foreign national who has been living in the US for the previous three years
- You can apply for other NEH awards but cannot hold this one at the same time as another (you can apply to more than one, but only win one at a time)
- The Digital Humanities Center and the Applicant submit the application together. You cannot submit an application if you are not working in tandem with a DHC.
- Each applicant can only apply with one Center per deadline (you cannot submit your application with more than one Digital Humanities Center)
- Each Center can only submit one application per deadline
- There are rules on the type of work that these Fellowships can support - check the application for more details
