Proposals are welcome in any area of the humanities from organizations of all types and sizes. The Digital Humanities Advancement Grants program (DHAG) supports innovative, experimental, and/or computationally challenging digital projects, leading to work that can scale to enhance scholarly research, teaching, and public programming in the humanities.

IMLS encourages DHAG applicants to work in collaboration, and employ the expertise of, library and archives staff at your institution or across the country to strengthen knowledge networks, empower community learning, foster civic cohesion, advance research, and support the traditionally underserved.

The maximum award amounts are:

• Level I: $75,000
• Level II: $150,000
• Level III: $350,000 in outright funds, with an additional $100,000 in matching funds

Examples of expected outputs include:  articles, digital infrastructure, digital resources or publications, reports, software, teaching resources, and workshops. Projects can be carried out during a time period of up to thirty-six months.

DHAG applicants must respond to one or more of these programmatic priorities: 

• research and refinement of innovative, experimental, or computationally challenging methods and techniques
•  enhancement or design of digital infrastructure that contributes to and supports the humanities, such as open-source code, tools, or platforms
• evaluative studies that investigate the practices and the impact of digital scholarship on research, pedagogy, scholarly communication, and public engagement.
