Working towards the goal of assisting fellows as they apply for major grant funding, IDAH provides technical support to faculty fellows by developing limited prototypes of digital tools, interfaces, or presentations (if needed) for the conception and development of a project.

Development of prototypes helps IDAH and the faculty fellow assess whether the digital project is feasible using existing technology or whether the creation of new technologies is desirable.  When applying for grant support, the fellow can provide funders with access to the prototype to aid them in their evaluation of the grant proposal.
