Grant Description

Grants to USA nonprofit organizations, agencies, IHEs, and Native American tribal governments for research addressing the effects of technology on society. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take up to one month to complete. Funding is intended for humanistic research that examines the relationship between technology and society. NEH is particularly interested in projects that examine current social and cultural issues that are significantly shaped by technology.

NEH invites projects that link their research to compelling social issues where technology plays a key role. Projects may address a wide range of topics, such as:

Climate change
Racial justice
Social media, disinformation, and the democratic process
Medical technologies
Wealth inequality
Data privacy and ethics of algorithms
Cryptocurrencies and nonfungible tokens (NFTs)
Supply chains and infrastructure
Educational technologies
Streaming economy (e.g., music, television, film)

The DOT program can support activities such as:

Course releases
Research assistance
Research travel
Community partner participation
Conducting studies or interviews
Convenings
Data collection and analysis
Eperiments or prototyping
Designing curricular materials
Development or production of articles, books, documentary films, web sites, or other forms of intellectual output

Project categories:

Projects led by a single researcher: Projects in this category will be led by a single project director with an institutional affiliation who will set the research agenda. Other personnel, including students, may carry out some activities.
Projects led by collaborative teams: Projects in this category will be led by two or more project directors (co-directors), each contributing equally to the research agenda(s). Co-project directors may be independent scholars. Other personnel, including students or staff from community organizations, can also be involved in carrying out some of the work.
