Project Incubator

To support longer-term projects involving transformative research activities in digital scholarship, the Digital Scholarship Lab began offering the Project Incubator in Fall 2020. The Project Incubator supports transformative research projects by offering:

  • Guidance using a project lifecycle management framework that includes planning, defining roles on, delivering, and closing your project
  • Specific advice on applying workshop materials and concepts to your project
  • Access to the DSL Extension, including co-working rooms, high performance computers, and specialized equipment
  • Coordinated access to Library colleagues with relevant expertise - we will facilitate lab and library colleagues’ inclusion on project teams, subject to their availability and interest
