Fellowship / Grant Program

Digital Matter’s Fellowship program includes a Faculty Grant Program and a Graduate Student Residency Fellowship during Fall and Spring semesters. Both aim to support and encourage researchers to challenge and extend the boundaries of their fields through digital methods, pedagogy, and tools.

Faculty Grant Program

The Faculty Grant Program provides research funding to Tenure-line and Career-line faculty in the Humanities, Fine Arts, Architecture + Planning, and Marriott Library working in Digital Studies, broadly defined, which challenge and extend their fields.

Awardees receive $5,000 in research funding to be used for supplies, equipment, software, computing, research assistants, etc.

Grant funds cannot be used for faculty salaries (summer or academic year); travel that is not directly related to project research (e.g., conferences cannot be supported by this grant), funding to purchase society/group memberships, consultants, or office equipment unless specifically justified.

Our call for applications go out in early mid-Spring semester for the Fall program and early Fall semester for the Spring program.
