If you are a University of Nebraska researcher and would like to propose a collaborative project with the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities (CDRH), please fill out one of the forms below.
The CDRH accepts project applications three times per year. Application deadlines are: November 1, March 15, and August 1. All project application materials must be turned in by 11:59 p.m. on those dates.
The Projects Committee reviews project proposals and selects projects based on merit as well as the availability of CDRH staff and resources.
Proposals submitted by CDRH Fellows and Affiliates will receive priority consideration. If you are interested in becoming an Affiliate or a Fellow, please visit the Nomination page for more information.
As you prepare your application, you may want to review resources on the CDRH Articles & Resources page. These resources include published guides, recommended best practices, and the project handbook.

Application for a Pilot or Prototype Project
Pilot or prototype applications are for digital humanities work that is at an early stage of development. Generally, a pilot project will not be permanently hosted on UNL library servers but rather have a short-term lifespan in order to build a proof of concept or demonstration project. Such applications need not be accompanied by other sources of support. Preview all "Pilot or Prototype Project" questions here.
Application for a Production Project
Production applications are for digital humanities work that is at a later stage of development. Projects ready for production mode will often be built on an existing prototype. Production applications should be accompanied either by existing sources of support (internal or external) or active applications for resources to support the work of the project. Preview all "Production Project" questions here.
"Off-cycle Applications"
In exceptional cases, we will consider "off-cycle" applications that fall outside of the regular project application dates. In such cases, applicants should first contact Carrie Heitman, Associate Director and Chair of the Projects Committee (cheitman2@unl.edu).
