>scholars the opportunity to explore the benefits 
>of incorporating interactive media into 
>interdisciplinary collaboration and public 
>dissemination of research. Fellows will be given 
>training and mentoring in the use of digital 
>tools for data analysis and presentation, social 
>collaboration and authorship, and/or research 
>production and dissemination in relation to 
>projects of their own choosing. This is a 
>non-residential fellowship program, although 
>participation is required in two on-campus 
>events at the beginning (June 2011) and end 
>(September 2012) of the 18-month fellowship 
>period, as well as in one video teleconference 
>at the fellowship's midpoint (December 2011).
>
>Fellowships will be awarded to twelve 
>national/international scholars and eight local 
>scholars. Applicants must have completed 
>candidacy into their doctoral programs or have 
>received their PhD. Proposals can be submitted 
>from individuals or from teams of scholars. 
>Fellows will work together in theme-based groups 
>to envision, execute, and produce research 
>projects using digital tools to facilitate 
>collaboration and to create representations of 
>their work. We particularly welcome proposals 
>from scholars interested in working with rich 
>media formats such as video, photography, sound, 
>graphics, and various forms of interactivity and 
>from scholars working on engaged scholarship, 
>whose work is both about public concerns and is 
>intended for consumption and use by members of 
>the public. During the institute meetings, 
>fellows will explore central methods in the 
>digital humanities and in multimedia authorship, 
>including gaming, data visualization, digital 
>archives/electronic journals, and audio and visual production.
>About the Proposals: Applicants need not be 
>proficient with new media authoring but must 
>demonstrate familiarity with the potential of 
>digital media forms and clearly articulate their 
>motivations for creating a digital project. 
>Evidence of the capacity for successful 
>collaboration and for scholarly innovation is 
>also required. Proposals should include a 
>6-page (single-spaced) description that clearly 
>states the projectâ¬"s argument, its intended 
>contribution to multimedia scholarship and to 
>contemporary research in the field, and an 
>explanation of why a digital media endeavor is 
>integral to the goals of the project. Each 
>participant must submit a brief biography and a 
>full c.v. listing previously published work in 
>any format. Â You may include sample media if 
>available. Please also indicate in your proposal 
>your top three choices for workshop tracks 
>(descriptions at http://dms.du.edu/DU_IDH.html). Â
>We will choose applicants based on an assessment 
>of their proposed research; their record of past 
>research (and in the case of graduate students 
>their research potential); and the clarity and 
>sophistication of their application essay. For 
>individual applicants, our ability to place them 
>with others working on similar topics will also 
>factor into their application acceptance.
