Purpose
This program offers partial support for print and electronic publication costs as well as production costs for exhibits and performances that are related to faculty and staff members’ scholarly activity. It is expected that publication and production costs are written into the budgets of externally-sponsored projects when allowed by the sponsor. All internal funding requirements must be met before publication and production cost funds can be accessed except under extenuating circumstances.
Award Description
The Graduate School will provide up to 75% (capped at $2,000) of the eligible publication or production costs. The remaining 25% must be covered another way, including but not limited to the applicant's unit, externally sponsored projects, and other institutional sources.
