Publication Assistance Grant

The Publication Assistance Grant supports faculty members whose work has been accepted for publication by a scholarly press that demands authors provide funds to underwrite the cost of publication--commonly called a subvention fee. Unlike other Faculty Development grants, this comes from funds available from the Office of the Provost. The Faculty Development Committee will make recommendations to the Provost, but the final decision will rest with the Provost, as budget permits. Applications and supporting materials are accepted throughout the academic year. Applications received after the May commencement will be reviewed by the end of September of the following term.
