First, applicants must produce an <strong>abstract of 500-750 words describing the digital project that they wish to bring<\/strong> to the workshop at Brown University (April 4-5, 2019), including a statement of their commitment to its sustainability. This brief description should address:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The project\u2019s intellectual goals,<\/li>\n<li>A description of the project&#8217;s current use of digital technologies,<\/li>\n<li>The size of its team (although no preference will be given to larger or smaller teams),<\/li>\n<li>The audience the project aims to reach,<\/li>\n<li>How long it has been in existence (although no preference will be given to newer or more mature projects), and<\/li>\n<li>The scope of any current sustainability plans and the team&#8217;s commitment to the project&#8217;s ongoing sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In addition to this abstract, applicants are to offer a<strong> brief (250-500 word) logistical description <\/strong>of:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The nature and extent of the project&#8217;s local digital sustainability resources,<\/li>\n<li>Its current institutional support (if any),<\/li>\n<li>The number of project team members who wish to attend as well as those team members&#8217; role(s) on the project, and<\/li>\n<li>The distance the project team members will need to travel to attend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Participants will be selected for inclusion in the workshops based on the robustness of their project description, including their commitment to attend to its sustainability. The recipients of the travel bursaries will be selected on the basis of the distance the participant(s) need to travel in order to attend the workshop as well as the fragility of their local digital sustainability infrastructure. We will also prioritize those applicants who currently work with, or who are currently training to work with, underrepresented communities or who are being trained to work with diverse, expansive publics.<\/p>\n<p>These two statements (project abstract and logistical description) should be combined into a single PDF file along with brief (two-page) CVs for those team members who wish to participate in the workshop. This PDF should then be sent to the Institute&#8217;s organizers, Alison Langmead, Aisling Quigley, and Chelsea Gunn, at <a href=\"mailto:vmwshop@pitt.edu\">vmwshop@pitt.edu<\/a>.\u00a0The application deadline for the Sustaining DH Workshop at Brown University is <strong>February 28, 2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>All self-recognized digital humanities practitioners are welcome to apply, including (but not limited to) those who call themselves librarians, archivists, museum professionals, information professionals, university faculty, staff, and independent scholars.<\/p>\n<p>Should you have any questions about the workshops or the application process, <em><strong>please do not hesitate to be in touch with this workshop&#8217;s facilitators<\/strong><\/em>, Alison Langmead and Chelsea Gunn, at <a href=\"mailto:vmwshop@pitt.edu\">vmwshop@pitt.edu<\/a>.
