[ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR OCT. 11, 2023]

This workshop will explore how faculty can prepare to seek internal and external support for digital scholarship research projects, as well as some of the resources and forms of assistance available to them to get started. The first part of the workshop will examine some example digital scholarship grant programs, ranging from simple pilot grants that might be applied to as an individual to large national and international grants that require coordinating multiple collaborators, staff, administrators, and possibly other outside institutions or organizations. In the second part of the workshop, we will outline the main questions that a project director should consider in planning and designing their project, especially with regard to: building and organizing a project team; identifying the most appropriate sources or types of funding; leveraging existing infrastructure, expertise, and tools; and working with the multiple campus offices dedicated to supporting research and grant projects to complete and submit a competitive proposal. The talk will conclude with an open Q & A session to discuss project-specific issues participants may face, as well as to identify what types of support the DSSN and other groups at UB might best focus on building and helping to connect with faculty researchers.
