Environmental Scan: What other DH projects exist that might speak to similar questions as yours? What are they like? What do they do that you will/not do? What other DH projects exist that might speak to similar questions as yours?
Enhancing the humanities: How will this project bolster/enhance humanistic research? What are you doing that is novel or unique that would support your response? Who is the audience for this project? You? A broader public? If so, be specific. Is there a specific text, author, or subject you’re examining that hasn’t been studied in this way? This would also count as enhancing the humanities.
Methods: Explain what tools you will use and why.
Data management plan: This describes how data will be managed, stored, and documented during development work and how it will be sustained beyond the proposal’s timeline.
Timeline for project completion: Create a week-by-week timeline for your project. You will have to hold yourself accountable to your plan. Doing this will also show you how feasible your project is.
Bibliography: What do you think you’ll annotate for your annotated bibliography? Create a tentative bibliography (no annotation) with a 250-word rationale.
