Details:
The program supports individual scholars pursuing significant humanities projects that require digital expression and publication. It provides recipients time to conduct research, prepare publications, and develop and incorporate multimedia or interactive components using existing technologies and platforms. Recipients must publish their products in digital form. Outcomes include, but are not limited to, monographs, peer-reviewed articles, websites, virtual exhibitions, translations with annotations or a critical apparatus, and critical editions.
Through NEH-Mellon Fellowships for Digital Publication, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Mellon Foundation jointly support competitive awards granted to individual scholars pursuing interpretive research projects that require digital expression and publication. To be considered under this opportunity, your plans for digital publication must be integral to your project’s research goals. That is, you must conceive the project as a digital publication because the research topics and methods demand presentation beyond traditional print. Competitive submissions embody exceptional research, rigorous analysis, and clearly articulate a project’s value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both.
Successful projects will likely incorporate images, video, audio, manipulatable elements, datasets, and/or other multimedia materials or flexible reading pathways not possible in traditionally published books. Successful projects also typically have an active dissemination plan.
NEH invites research applications from scholars in all disciplines of the humanities and related subfields of the social sciences, and it encourages submissions from independent and junior scholars.
