Subvention Fund

WIHR invites applications for subvention funds to help defray costs of publishing original research with significant humanities content. Funds may be used only for current or upcoming expenses directly related to publication, such as image preparation, permissions, indexing, proofreading, or the like. We will also consider covering open-access fees if the author provides context about a) why the journal or press requires such fees and b) why it is important that they publish in this particular venue. These funds may only be used for publications in not-for-profit presses, journals, or other venues.

Specific funding amounts will vary depending upon subvention needs and availability of funds; the average award may be $750. All faculty and staff, regardless of rank, are welcome to apply. To apply, submit a contract or communication from the publishing venue stating that the work has been accepted for publication, together with a statement of no longer than one page, including:

• An abstract of the publication

• Its publishing venue

• The status of the publication

• A brief budget describing how the funds will be used

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. Please send questions and applications to humanities@uwyo.edu. Recipients of subventions are requested to forward a copy of the final product (book, article, resource) to WIHR upon publication. Recipients are required to credit the Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research in the publication’s acknowledgments.
