- Your Project Name
- Project Description (1-3 Paragraphs)
- Please describe how your research project will benefit from digital methods and/or data analysis provided by tools such as Python

- If applicable, describe any work that has already been completed on this project.
How we evaluate your application
Each year, we receive many strong proposals for the Incubator program. The strongest proposals use the project description fields to highlight why participating in the program cohort would benefit the research project. We especially look for thoughtful descriptions of how your research project will be enhanced with digital technologies that can’t be accomplished in other formats. For 2026-2027, we are looking for proposals that can articulate how Python will be beneficial to humanities data capture, manipulation, analysis, or dissemination.
For projects that intend to use other technologies in addition to the Python skills covered in this program, we welcome discussion of how Python will enhance the suite of tools you envision being applied to your project.
If you have any further questions about the application or the program, please email lib-create[at]fsu[dot]edu.
