Subvention Grants
To Assist in the Publication and Exhibition of Faculty Research in the Humanities
The URI Center for the Humanities has a limited amount of funding available to assist faculty in the humanities working with a scholarly press or exhibitor that requires the author to share in the cost of publication or exhibition. Subvention grants usually are limited to no more than $1,000 per faculty member per project to assist with such costs as obtaining permissions, reproducing photographs, and framing artwork. Costs of doing research (such as travel to archives) are not included. (Research funding is available through the Center’s Faculty Research Grant program.)
