Apply to join the 2022-2023 Project Enhancement Network & Incubator Program

Call for Proposals: PEN & Inc

This message has been approved by Gale Etschmaier, Dean of University Libraries, for distribution to students, faculty, and staff.

The Project Enhancement Network & Incubator (PEN & Inc or "The Incubator" for short) is a program hosted by the FSU Libraries which provides support for faculty and student exploring digital research methods. In the 2022-2023 academic year, PEN & Inc invites proposals for an incubator cohort to work on digital projects that will fit into the FSU Libraries' web hosting service CreateFSU. We especially solicit proposals from individuals who have a digital humanities or scholarship project that they would like to make available as a project-based website.

Eligible projects include (but are not limited to):

* Digital exhibits and collections
* Interactive and exploratory data visualizations
* Digital publishing projects
* Mapping and Geospatial projects
* Scholarly collaborative blogs and public writing experiments
* Interdisciplinary research lab project portfolios

Participants in the program will receive one-on-one project support meetings with librarians and group meetings with the Incubator cohort throughout the 2022-2023 academic year. Participants will be expected to use these sessions to develop their project and web presence throughout the year. Additionally, participants will be expected to participate (either virtually or in person) in a project website showcase event in the spring semester highlighting their research progress. Program participants will also be asked to contribute short public writing pieces to a collaborative blog highlighting the CreateFSU service.

Important dates:
Application deadline: Midnight, Sunday, September 18th, 2022
Notification of acceptance by September 23rd, 2022
Initial project consultation: Between September 26-30th, 2022
