The Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (CSEEES) has opened a Call for Applications for subvention grants for affiliated tenure-track faculty members. A total of $1,000 is available, which may be divided between multiple awards. The subvention grants are intended to be matching funds to support a publication that the faculty member is in the final stages of working on with a publisher, with the funds used between November 2024 and August 14, 2025. Eligible uses of the funds include publication subvention to publisher, costs of indexing, and reproduction fees for photos or other copyrighted material. Monographs and edited volumes are also eligible. Faculty should have a signed contract in hand. Please do not apply if your manuscript is not in the final stages of publication. Funds cannot be used for research, travel, or salary support of any kind for faculty and/or student workers or transferred to another department.

The deadline for applications is Friday, November 1, 2024.

Interested faculty should email Emma Pratt at pratt.124@osu.edu with a brief (approximately 1-page) description/outline of the publication, describing the type of publication, how funds would be used, information and documentation about the publisher, and a brief statement on how the publication would add to current scholarship in the field. Applications will be reviewed by the CSEEES Director, Dr. Angela Brintlinger, and will be assessed upon strength of connection to the region, whether faculty have received other subventions from CSEEES in the recent past, and potential impact on scholarship.

The subvention grants are made possible as part of CSEEES’ Title VI National Resource Center grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Recipients will need to include language in the credits of the publication noting this support. Subvention funds are awarded annually; the next call for applications will run in the 2025-26 academic year.
