0. Dissemination and Preservation. Applicants must specify how their projects will be
presented and preserved. Applicants should also outline strategies for raising the visibility of
their projects at workshops, seminars, conferences, and meetings of their field or discipline.
While demonstration of scholarly excellence will be the primary criterion for selection, such
excellence should be manifest in the digital context. Applicants should discuss both the
intellectual ambitions of the project and its technological underpinnings. Proposals should
specify how digital technologies add value to humanistic study.
Further, proposals will be evaluated relative to the technical requirements for completing a
successful research project, evidence of significant preliminary work already completed, and (as
appropriate) those features of the proposal that would promote teamwork and collaboration in
the course of the project. Successful applicants would also indicate how their projects would
articulate with the local infrastructure at their home institutions.
Students must present a coherent plan for development of their project, including a description of
tasks to be accomplished within the period of the fellowship, and the budget required for those
tasks. The project budget is an essential element of the application and its evaluation will weigh
in the overall selection process. The project plan should reflect a thoughtful approach to the
project’s sustainability, scalability, dissemination, and preservation, and include a statement
addressing intellectual property issues.
