Arts and Humanities Publication Support Grant FY26
University of North Carolina at Chapel HillAbout the role
Description
The Arts and Humanities Publication Support Grant supports arts, humanities, and interpretive social science publication and performance by UNC-Chapel Hill faculty. The grant is funded by a partnership between the Office of Research Development and the Institute for the Arts and Humanities. The goal is to provide funding to increase the quality, contribution, or reach of books, recordings, and other academic or scholarly works. Examples include illustrations, indexing, publisher’s subventions, cover art, and similar.
The funds are not intended to cover the total cost of completing the research project, but to complement other financial support. Funds are awarded on a competitive basis and are not guaranteed. All eligible works must be complete at the time of application, e.g., accepted manuscript, mixed and edited master recording, etc.
Awards: The usual maximum award to support the publication of a book/monograph or musical/performance recording is $2,500. Requests above this amount will be considered in the case of exceptional need or opportunity. Awards are to be used by one full year from date of award.
Reporting: Recipients are requested to provide a copy of the book or other publication to the IAH upon completion to become part of the IAH’s faculty publications collection.
