The Office of Research and Innovation will offer the Book Fellowship and Manuscript Workshop Program again in the spring semester.
The program provides faculty with funds to support the writing and publishing of new books, with two types of awards being offered.
- R&I Book Fellowships support time for faculty to focus on writing and publishing a book through a course buyout or summer salary support and/or costs related to the publishing process. The expected output is the timely publication of the new book.
- R&I Book Manuscript Workshop Grants provide funds for faculty to participate in an external manuscript workshop to obtain expert feedback on their draft book manuscript or to host a book manuscript workshop that brings external expert reviewers to UNL. The expected outcome is to enhance the quality of the book manuscripts prior to submission for publication and thus ultimately contribute to the successful publication of new books.
Applications for these programs are due March 1, 2027.
The Internal Funding Opportunities website provides additional details about this program and other R&I internal funding programs. For questions, contact Matthew Dwyer, senior research development program coordinator.
