Greetings colleagues, The National Endowment for the Humanities Dangers & Opportunities of Technology: Perspectives from the Humanities (DOT)<https://www.neh.gov/program/dangers-and-opportunities-technology-perspectives-humanities> grant program is accepting applications for the September 12, 2024 deadline (for US institutions). Recent awards<https://www.neh.gov/blog/announcing-new-odh-awards-april-2024> include projects exploring environmental and cultural impacts of large technology centers on American communities, the history of transportation infrastructure, the history of medical life support technologies, and studies of political activity and online harassment on social media platforms. NEH's DOT program calls for new research that explores the relationship between technology and culture as well as technology's dramatic impacts on society. "Technology" may be interpreted broadly, and the program encourages research into technologies not only of the modern or digital era but from any time period. DOT is one of many at NEH welcoming projects that explore the impacts of AI-related technologies in the areas of equity, privacy, or civil rights. Humanities Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence (AI)<https://www.neh.gov/AI> supports research projects that seek to understand and address AI's ethical, legal, and societal implications. A short, recorded presentation is available on DOT's program resource page<https://www.neh.gov/program/dangers-and-opportunities-technology-perspectives-humanities> detailing the program's goals, requirements, restrictions, and application process that may be watched at any time. We are not able to read drafts, but our staff can answer questions about your project, such as appropriateness for this grant program. If you are interested in the program, but don't think you will be applying this year, we would love for you to serve as a peer reviewer. Please contact us to volunteer or with other questions: odh@neh.gov<mailto:odh@neh.gov>. We have already funded two rounds of fascinating projects, and we anticipate offering another fall deadline in 2025. We will announce that date early next year. Cheers, Sheila _____________________________ Sheila A Brennan, PhD (she/her) Senior Program Officer & Dangers and Opportunities of Technology Team Lead Office of Digital Humanities National Endowment for the Humanities http://neh.gov/odh
