Subject: Fwd: New Digital Humanities RFP from Schmidt Sciences
Dear DHASA,
Here at Schmidt Sciences, we just released a new DH RFP called HAVI. It is open to researchers globally. May I ask you to share this with your members? Thank you!
Schmidt Sciences' HAVI 2026 RFP
Schmidt Sciences is requesting proposals to the Humanities and AI Virtual Institute (HAVI), aimed at fostering research in the digital humanities with a particular focus on artificial intelligence. Ideal projects will have
co-PIs with expertises from both the humanities and AI and will address research questions from both domains. This request is open to universities and non-profits globally.
Funding ranges from US $100,000 to US $800,000. Applications are due March 13, 2026.
To get a sense for what kinds of projects we funded last year, we are also excited to announce
23 new HAVI projects (look under "Featured Projects"). The projects span disciplines such as archaeology, history, literature, linguistics, art history, music, law, and film/media studies. Together, they reflect HAVI’s dual mission to apply AI to the humanities
in ways that open new understandings of human history and culture, and to advance AI itself using humanistic questions, methods, and sources. You can also join the
HAVI mailing list.
