The Canadian Studies Publication Subvention Program is designed to promote the publication in the United States of scholarly books and monographs in the social sciences, business, environment, humanities, law, and fine arts with a unique relevance to Canada or the bilateral relationship. The purpose of the grant is to assist publishers by defraying the costs of publication with a direct subvention for a worthy manuscript. This program is intended for publishers with an editorial presence in the United States contemplating publishing the work of academics at accredited U.S. colleges and universities, as well as independent scholars and scholars at American research and policy planning institutes who undertake significant Canadian or Canadian U.S. projects. All authors must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
Conference proceedings are ineligible for the grant.
Collections and edited anthologies will be given a lower priority by the review committee. As defined here, direct costs do not include marketing. Publishers are required to donate the author's first year royalties, if any, to the Association for Canadian Studies in the United States to be returned to the Publication Fund. The publisher also shall certify in writing that, if the requested funding is received, the book will be published and indicate a date of publication and the number of copies to be printed. The publisher shall indicate how the book will be advertized and marketed.
