The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education provides subventions for the publication of peer-reviewed through-written scholarly monographs. This program is open to tenure-track faculty of any rank. The program does not support translations, anthologies or page fees for articles.
The aims of the subvention program are as follows:
- To lower the list price of books by UW faculty thereby facilitating increased dissemination of their work;
- To further support the ecosystem of scholarly publishing in the humanities and qualitative social sciences;
- To provide additional levels of support for open-access monograph publishing; and
- To provide additional levels of support for heavily illustrated monographs.
Application for funding are made to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Arts and Humanities after the peer-review process has been successfully completed and the publisher has committed to the project. Applications can be made at any time.
