Text and Academic Authors Association offering grants of up to $750

Academic authors can apply for Text and Academic Authors Association (TAA) grants of up to $750. These grants can be used to cover expenses incurred in publishing already accepted print academic journal articles and books including academic journal page costs or university press subventions; the cost of preparing artwork or other charts, diagrams, or images to be included in accepted journal articles or academic books; and journal reprint costs.

Grants are also available for expenses incurred as a direct result of research leading to publication of a book or article, including:

* Interlibrary loan costs, or computer time costs incurred in the analysis of data, leading to publication of academic print materials.

* Costs of single photocopies of source materials for research related to the publication of an article or book.

* Costs of secretarial (copying and/or delivery) services incurred in the preparation of academic print materials.

* Cost of permissions incurred in the preparation of academic print materials for reprinting images, quoted material.

Grant funds are also available for costs incurred by the author for textbook projects, provided the textbook is not realistically expected to yield royalties sufficient to recover the costs for which the grant is sought.

TAA has up to $7,500 available for making TAA Publication Grants in 2010-2011. Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis. The grant period runs from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. Grant applications for the first half of 2010-2011 are due by December 1, 2010. Grant applications for the second half of 2010-2011 are due by May 1, 2011.
