Digital Innovation Fellowships

With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies is offering six ACLS Digital Innovation Fellowships. The program supports digitally based research projects in all disciplines of the humanities and humanities-related social sciences.

ACLS Digital Innovation Fellowships are intended to support an academic year dedicated to working on a major scholarly project that takes a digital form. Projects may involve development of new digital tools that further humanistic research (such as digital research archives or innovative databases), research that depends on or is greatly enhanced by the use of such tools, the representation of such research, or some combination of these features.

One of the six projects may involve two collaborating scholars; each fellowship carries a stipend of up to $60,000 toward an academic year's leave and provides for project costs of up to $25,000.

The program is open to Ph.D.’s in all fields of the humanities and the humanistic social sciences.

Deadline: September 29, 2010.
