Endowment for programs at the University of Nebraska's Center for Digital Research in the Humanities.

The Center for Digital Research in the Humanities (CDRH) seeks challenge grant funding to build an endowment to enable it to expand and solidify its national leadership position in mentoring programs for early-career humanities scholars, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and pre-tenure faculty. Funds from the endowment will support annual graduate research assistantships, annual summer internships for graduate students, an ongoing two-year postdoctoral fellowship, and will allow us to expand the Nebraska Digital Workshop, a signature event of the center that showcases promising humanities work of early-career scholars.
