- NOTE: Nature of DPOC is currently changing
- LIFT funding opportunities
- Grant funding ideas?
- Adam - TACC established relationships via internally funded seed projects for future grants; challenging process with TACC b/c of resource allocation among competing grants; paradigm shift needed, since projects in early stages not likely to win awards due to lack of proof of concept and startup costs. Duke as model (spend $$ to make $$)
- Elizabeth - engage Computer Science faculty and students in early project momentum-building - integrate digital projects with CS curriculum
- Jen - pairing iSchool and CS students as teams on innovative UTL projects
- Inroads with CS?
- Every third DPIG meeting - breakout groups?

- this illustrates typical archeological data problem
- NEH startup grant
- develop workflow and software solution: Cultural Heritage Imaging and Digital Lab Notebook
