Grants typically fund research projects, regardless of disciplines, but they always are finite and usually last anywhere from one to five years. The Digital Humanities and Literary Cognition Lab has been fortunate enough to receive multiple grants ranging from small scale university grants up to the national scale.
Scholarly publications are understood as the publishing of the research results. These publications and articles showcase the research from start to finish, including the design and set up, methodologies, results and relevance of the findings.
The DHLC prides itself on student involvement on the grant and article writing processes. To find out how to get involved with the lab as a student visit our undergraduate research page.
