Dear Alex,
I write to engage you and your Global Outlook DH colleagues on the new T-AP Digging into Data Challenge http://diggingintodata.org/awards/2016/news/announcing-t-ap-digging-data-challenge-2016 .
I’m pleased to say that we have 16 funders from 11 nations all participating in DiD. This includes countries from South America, North America, and Europe. Many of these countries are ones I’ve never worked with before and I’m keen to learn what kinds of terrific research their scholars are doing! I’m also pleased that the countries represent a wide variety of languages and cultures. Currently, some of these countries already fund a fair amount of digital humanities and digital social science research, while for others, this is still a very new kind of work.
So I think that global outreach will be really important. I very much want to get researchers to form teams from across the spectrum of countries. I’d love to see some unique partnerships we haven’t seen before, involving people and languages we don’t always see in DH or DSS projects.
So anything you can do to help get the word out or facilitate teambuilding would be much appreciated!
*Here’s a quick list of the countries/funders:*
Argentina: MINCyT Brazil: FAPESP Canada: SSHRC, NSERC, FRQ. Finland: AKA France: ANR Germany: DFG Mexico: CONACYT Netherlands: NWO Portugal: FCT (to be confirmed) UK: AHRC, ESRC US: NEH, NSF, IMLS
*Here’s a quick list of the national languages:*
Spanish
Portuguese
English
French
Finnish
German
Dutch
*Notes on Applying*
People apply in “teams.” A "team" is a group of principal investigators from at least three of the participating countries. Because this is a "trans-Atlantic" grant program, each team must have PIs on both sides of the Atlantic.
*Notes on Research Topics*
Open to any research questions in the humanities and/or social sciences. However, the idea is that you have to be using computational methods/approaches at the large scale for your research. (And large scale doesn’t mean big data in the scientific sense; rather it means large for the discipline that you are working in.)

Thanks,
Brett
