Deadline: Applications accepted beginning Sept. 1, 2009, until funds are depleted.
They provide modest research support (up to $750) for specific projects of individual tenured and tenure-track faculty members. These grants are intended to cover unanticipated costs or special needs and should not be considered a means of supporting on-going projects.

Note: All 2009-2010 subvention grant funds have been awarded. Applications are no longer being accepted.
The University Co-operative Society Subvention Grants program is designed to assist faculty authors in the publication of scholarly books.

Subvention awards provide financial assistance to faculty members when departments and deans are unable to provide needed support. Visit Subvention Grants for more information.
