The Digital Research Faculty Fellowship will provide a faculty member in the Humanities Division with one course replacement in order to pursue their research. The fellowship recipient is also awarded $800 to be used for research expenses, which can include the hiring of a GSR, travel, and the purchase of research related equipment.
