Funding and Support

Invaluable support for Rec(o)rding CripTech has come from a2ru, Carnegie Mellon University, Leonardo, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

In addition, Recording CripTech was awarded an ACLS Digital Justice Seed Grant in 2022, a NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant in 2023, and an ACLS Digital Justice Development Grant in 2025.

The project also received early-stage support from Carnegie Mellon University’s STUDIO for Creative Inquiry through the Frank-Ratchye Further Fund (FRFF), which helped support Ground Works’ exploratory work on the CripTech Incubator. The FRFF is an endowment that encourages the creation of innovative artworks by the faculty, students, and staff of Carnegie Mellon University.

The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Digital Justice Grant Program is designed to promote and provide resources for digital humanities projects that aim to diversify the digital domain, advance justice and equity in digital scholarly practice, and contribute to public understanding of racial and social justice issues, especially those that elevate the interests and histories of people of color and other historically marginalized communities including Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities; people with disabilities; and queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming people. The program is made possible by a grant from the Mellon Foundation.

This project has been made possible in part by a Digital Humanities Advancement Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this website do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
