About the NYCDH Graduate Student Project Award:
Awarded annually, the award committee solicits proposals in the spring. The proposals are judged by a group selected from the NYCDH Steering Committee, and the winners are chosen based on their intellectual contribution, innovative use of technology, and the clarity of their work plan.
