I’ve sought grant support for three strands of research.
"Visualizing Funds of Identity while Exploring Data Literacy Concepts." $902,020.00 from the National Science Foundation. Joshua Danish (PI), Kalani Craig (Co-PI), Cindy Hmelo-Silver (Co-PI), Merijke Coenraad (Co-PI, Digital Promise).
Awarded May, 2023; Active May 1, 2023 - April 30, 2026. The Visualizing Funds of Identity while Exploring Data Literacy Concepts grant responds to the growing recognition that data literacy is an increasingly important set of skills. and network science in particular is at the heart of today’s youth’s experiences with technology. The goal of this project is to explore an approach in which middle school students in an underserved school district use network visualization in classrooms across the curriculum to learn about themselves and their communities, while simultaneously learning about the underlying network science and data literacy principles that are central to their experiences with many common technologies. The project team will design, implement, and study an instructional unit about network visualization using the open-source Net.Create software tool on which I was PI. My role will be to lead the integration of network analysis with history and humanities learning. I will also be responsible for the dissemination of the tool and study results to digital-history research and history-pedagogy communities.
"Data-Driven Human Network Design: Phase 2." $400,000.00 from the Lumina Foundation. Ann McCranie (PI), Kalani Craig (Co-PI), Kate Eddens (Co-PI).
Awarded September, 2022; Active October 1, 2022-June 30, 2024. This grant with Lumina Foundation extends our integration of oral history techniques, digital-history network analysis approaches and social-science survey approaches to develop a pilot program for individual Lumina departments to apply our previous strategic history of the last decade of Lumina Foundation activity to broadening their network within the educational-equity non-profit world.
"Data-Driven Human Network Design." $250,000.00 from the Lumina Foundation. Ann McCranie (PI), Kalani Craig (Co-PI), Kate Eddens (Co-PI).
Awarded June 2021, 2022; Active June 2021-September 2022. This grant with Lumina Foundation blends oral history techniques, digital-history network analysis approaches (based on Net.Create) and social-science survey approaches to provide a history of the last decade of Lumina Foundation's networks in the educational-equity non-profit world.
"Net.Create: Using Network Analysis to Support Digital Humanities Learning in Large History Classrooms." $299,661.00 from the National Science Foundation. Kalani Craig (PI), Joshua Danish (Co-PI), Cindy Hmelo-Silver (Co-PI).
Awarded July 2018; Active August 2018-July 2021. Network analysis is an increasingly popular and powerful computational tool for the analysis of large data sets. Digital historians have used these tools to represent and analyze historical contexts because they support scholars in looking at a broad range of connections between people, places, and events. This NSF EAGER award funded Net.Create, an easy-to use interface to support the collaborative generation and interpretation of network data drawn from multiple historical texts, and the application of network analysis to understand the complexity of historical interactions. Net.Create's innovations are focused on simultaneous multi-user predictive network data entry and live visualization, two features designed to directly elicit historical argumentation and interpretation in collaborative environments.
"Enhancing the Humanities with Net.Create Web: Collaborative Affordable Humanistic Network Analysis." $325,000.00 from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Kalani Craig (PI), Ann McCranie (Co-PI).
Submitted February 2021; rejected. This grant proposal aimed to establish a web-based 'freemium' platform for Net.Create to provide an affordable open-source one-click jump-start for humanists interested in engaging in an network-analysis research project.
"Crossroads of America: Advancing Midwestern Public Digital Humanities." $38,375.00 from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Kalani Craig (PI), Michelle Dalmau (Co-PI) as sub-awardees for a consortium of Indiana Digital Humanities practitioners (led by Matthew Hannah, Purdue University; grant total across all institutions: $218,287).
Submitted February 2021; rejected.
"Enhancing the Humanities with Net.Create Web: Collaborative Affordable Humanistic Network Analysis." $324,413.00 from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Kalani Craig (PI), Ann McCranie (Co-PI).
Submitted June 2019; rejected. This grant proposal aimed to establish a web-based 'freemium' platform for Net.Create to provide an affordable open-source one-click jump-start for humanists interested in engaging in an network-analysis research project.
