Digging into Data is sponsored by ten international research funding organizations that are working together to focus the attention of the social sciences, humanities, library, archival, information, computer, mathematical, and statistical science communities on large-scale data analysis and its potential applications. The Digging into Data Challenge funds projects that explore how computationally intensive research methods can be used to ask new questions about and gain new insights into our world.  Applicants will form international teams from at least two of the participating countries. Winning teams will receive grants from two or more of the funding agencies and, two years later, will be invited to show off their work at a special conference sponsored by the ten funders.

NEH Fellowships support individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources in the humanities. Projects may be at any stage of development.

The Provost's Fund for Interfaculty Collaboration supports a variety of cross-faculty collaborations, including but not limited to new interdisciplinary courses, working groups, small-scale conferences, and new research projects that have relevance to fostering interfaculty collaboration more broadly.  Applicants must hold primary Harvard faculty appointments at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor and must be from at least two different Schools or two different divisions within FAS. Priority will be given to applicants who have not previously received funding from the grant and to proposals that illustrate the potential long-term impact of one-time seed funding (e.g., sponsored research opportunities, resulting scholarly products) as well as to proposals that show the leveraging of other Harvard resources (e.g., cost-sharing with a Department or School).

The Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program annually selects and supports 50 leading artists and scholars who have both exceptional promise and demonstrated accomplishments.  Fellowship clusters, made up of two or three individuals, will spend the 2014-2015 fellowship year pursuing the cluster's research interests or project. The Institute encourages the inclusion of junior faculty.  

 

All members of the cluster (excluding creative artists) must have been awarded their doctorates by December 2012. Only scholars who have published at least two refereed articles in journals or edited collections are eligible to apply.  In order to gain consideration to apply jointly, the convener(s) of such a group should submit a letter of intent, a background information sheet on each cluster member, and a copy of each participant's CV by the May 1 deadline.
