Book Publishing Support is available for the spring 2026 semester.
In our continued effort to support research and scholarship of our faculty, we are pleased to start a CCAS Book Publishing Support System to provide technical and financial support for book publishing efforts by CCAS faculty. We hope this will help to increase the quality and quantity of professional books by our faculty.
Financial Support for Book Publishing
CCAS will provide support of up to $1,000 to help CCAS faculty with their expenses related to book publishing, including editing, imaging, and indexing. Before requesting such help, faculty are encouraged to make use of other resources such as their start up or funds from their department. The Associate Dean for Research will review the request, consult the CCAS Research Advisory Council and / or the Department Chair as needed, and then inform the applicant of the decision. This service is limited to books of research or scholarly nature, and does not include textbooks, fiction, non-fiction or other types of books. Expenditures must be made by May 22nd of the current fiscal year in order to be fully processed by the end of the current fiscal year. Funding extensions of FY26 awards beyond FY26 are not possible.
Requests for Financial Support
Requests for financial support should be made by submitting a 1-2 page proposal in one pdf file via this form. The file should be named in the format Publishing_LastName.pdf, and contain the following three items:
- Faculty Name, Department, and Academic Rank
- Rationale for the Request. Please give a very brief synopsis of your book, specifically detail the current stage of your publishing process, what the requested funding would support and why it is needed. Please feel free to include any other information you feel is relevant and supports your request.
- Budget. Please outline each specific cost-item.
