Submit Your Project to DHReSCU by December 31st! [Deadline extended!]

We are excited to open project applications for DHReSCU. If you have a Digital Humanities Research Project and are looking for consultation, submit your project using this application form by November 27th December 31st. DHReSCU is a pilot program meant to aid early-stage digital humanities research software projects in developing a technical implementation plan. We hope to connect experienced research software engineers with digital humanities projects. The resulting technical implementation plan is meant to reduce mistakes made and improve project outcomes.

DHReSCU Application - Project

The Deadline for this Application is November 27th DHReSCU is a pilot program meant to aid early-stage digital humanities research software projects in developing a technical implementation plan. We hope to connect experienced research software engineers with digital humanities projects. The resulting technical implementation plan is meant to reduce mistakes made and improve project outcomes. We have several questions about your project to make sure it aligns with our research goals and expectations, and so we have enough information to find a suitable consultant Since DHReSCU is in a pilot phase, it’s important for us to understand the needs of DH projects for this kind of consulting. Even if you don't think your project is a good candidate for us: please still apply. We are interested in your feedback or comments. This is valuable information to us as we evaluate the role and feasibility of DHReSCU. Note: Projects are not required to already have funding or technical partners, but we do expect your major phase of work to begin within the next 18 months Project selection will be based on these criteria: Does the project team have access to RSE support through their institution or other means? Does the project timeline roughly match DHReSCU’s timeline? How much would the project benefit from an RSE consultant? Are the project scope and goals clear? Is there a consultant with the needed expertise available? How diverse is the project team and institution? We are also primarily looking for US-based Projects Terms and expectations for working with DHReSCU: Selected project teams are expected to meet regularly with their consultants, based on a schedule to be determined by the project and consultant. Project teams are also expected to attend three meetings with a DHReSCU contact: a kick off, a mid-point check-in, and a wrap-up. We will also ask for feedback on the process after the project wrap-up. Project teams will be compensated with a stipend of $1500 for their time in this process. DHReSCU timeline: October - November 2024: Release and distribute calls for projects and consultants. November 2024: Schedule initial planning meetings with projects and consultants. December 2024 - June 2025: Projects and consultants work on the software development plan. DHReSCU will regularly check in with projects to ensure a successful collaboration. In month 6 we will ask for an asynchronous short report from both the consultant and PI. July 2025: DHReSCU will organize retrospective meetings with projects and consultants to reflect on experiences and outcome. A survey will be designed and sent out to all participants to collect further feedback. Please see the DHReSCU website for additional details.

US-RSE Panelist Nomination

While research software engineering spans academic disciplines, it is still newer and relatively rare in the humanities and social sciences. When used, the term is being adopted to cover a wide range of technical work and different types of research collaborations. As a result, the role of the RSE in these disciplines is often distinct from that role in the sciences, with unique challenges and opportunities. We seek panelists for a Birds of a Feather conversation at US-RSE 2024 focused on the research software engineering experience within different research domains. Our conversation will engage questions such as: How do differences in research domains impact the training needs of RSEs? What types of institutional support and infrastructure are needed to support RSEs and scholars in the humanities and social sciences vs. other domains? How might DH RSE experience benefit and inform RSE roles in other domains? The goal of the conversation is to draw attention to the importance of the research domain within research software engineering and to highlight the lessons that can be learned by the wider RSE community from the experiences in specific domains such as the humanities and social sciences. Please fill out this form if you are interested in being a panelist or know of someone else who might. If you have any questions, please email Julia Damerow ([email protected]) or Rebecca Sutton Koeser ([email protected]).
