A modest amount of funding is available for subvention requests. Book-length manuscripts that have been accepted by established university presses or learned societies will be considered. Recordings and other forms of publication in the arts will also be eligible for support. Typically, subvention requests are submitted after the home department has first been solicited by the faculty member for funding assistance. In order to make the fund as self-renewing as possible, faculty members whose scholarly works are subsidized must agree to pay into the Subvention Fund all royalties resulting from the publication or sale of subsidized material.
Payments cease when the amount of the subvention is paid back.
Faculty members whose subvention requests are approved will receive a document to sign and agree to these terms. Send subvention requests to the Vice Chancellor for Research, OGSR, mailcode 0003. A letter endorsing the request will be solicited from the faculty member's department chair by the Vice Chancellor. To expedite review of the subvention request, a faculty member may choose to include a letter of endorsement from their department chair with the original materials. Departments will be informed of the approval or non-approval of a subvention request.
