The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) is inviting applicants for its Digital Extension Grants to Support digitally based research projects in all disciplines of the humanities and related social sciences.
This program aims to extend the opportunity to participate in the digital transformation of humanistic inquiry to a greater number of humanities scholars.
ACLS Digital Extension Grants support projects that have advanced beyond the start-up phase of development as they pursue one or more of the following activities:
- Developing new systems of making established digital resources available to broader audiences and/or scholars from diverse institutions.
- Extending established digital projects and resources with content that adds diversity or interdisciplinary reach.
- Fostering new team-based collaborations between scholars at all career stages. Projects that convene, train, and empower communities of humanities faculty and/or graduate students around established digital research projects, as well as projects that allow scholars from institutions with limited digital infrastructure to exploit digital resources or to participate in existing labs or working groups, are especially welcome.
- Creating new forms and sites for scholarly engagement with the digital humanities. Projects that document and recognize participant engagement are strongly encouraged.
Funding Information
