Grinnell College and the University of Iowa have received a $1.6 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop humanities-centered collaborations that expand the use of digital technology among faculty and students. It’s the first time Mellon has supported a collaborative digital project between a private liberal arts college and a public research university. The project, titled “Digital Bridges for Humanistic Inquiry,” will support increased integration of digital resources into the undergraduate curriculum at Grinnell and UI over four years. The grant will support creative collaboration between the two schools involving faculty, post-doctoral, graduate and undergraduate students, library faculty and staff, and IT staff.
