Funding and Support

Invaluable support for Rec(o)rding CripTech comes from a2ru, Carnegie Mellon University, and Leonardo.

In addition, Reco(r)ding CripTech was awarded an ACLS Digital Justice Seed Grant in 2022 and a NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant in 2023.

The Carnegie Mellon University’s STUDIO for Creative Inquiry Frank-Ratchye Further Fund (FRFF) generously supported Ground Work’s exploratory work in the early stages of the CripTech Incubator. The FRFF is an endowment to encourage 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.

Created in 1965 as an independent federal agency, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports research and learning in history, literature, philosophy, and other areas of the humanities by funding selected, peer-reviewed proposals from around the nation.
