New Internal Grant Available: Open Access Fund (opens in new window)
We have launched a new funding opportunity! The Open Access Fund supports The Creative School faculty members with publishing in Open Access books and journals. The grant is intended to reduce the financial barrier of making books or journal articles openly accessible (i.e. available without payment of subscription fees or paywalls). Funds allocated to faculty members are used to pay associated article processing fees. The Open Access Fund will be awarded on a rolling basis until we have exhausted all funds for the year.
