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
Apply for the Project Incubator
The call for proposals for the project incubator is now open and will be accepting applications through September 30, 2024.
