Beautiful piles of beautiful books
The U of A Humanities Center is now accepting applications for the fall funding competitions. All U of A faculty of any standing working with humanities content are encouraged to apply for grants to support humanities research, publishing and outreach.
Publishing Subvention and Distribution Grants:
Five awards of up to $1,000 each can be used to defray production costs associated with humanities research publications or scholarly products. Permissible expenses include obtaining publication rights for art works, purchase of high-resolution visuals, translation costs, creation of maps by a third party, design of graphs or charts by a third party, podcast production costs or other field-specific expenses with proper justification.
Consultant Funds:
Five grants of up to $1,000 each are available for the U of A to engage a consultant to help with grant writing, book proposals, technical assistance or other field-specific proposals for humanities research.
Outreach Incentive Funds:
Two grants of up to $2,500 are available for U of A faculty to support humanities-focused, community-based events for the campus or the region. These events should include humanities and interdisciplinary content and focus on outreach to a broad constituency.
Proposals should be uploaded to the U of A's InfoReady portal by close of business Nov. 1.
