The CMCS Faculty Research Publication Subvention Fund

The Center for Material Culture Studies is pleased to offer subvention support on a competitive basis for eligible University of Delaware faculty who have had material culture research accepted for publication.

Up to $1000 per award is available. Funds may be used for image preparation, permissions, and other expenses directly related to publication. Preference shall be given to faculty who have not received a prior award from CMCS.

The deadlines for applications for support for the current academic year are November 1 and March 15. Applications will be accepted one month before the deadlines. To apply, submit the following materials (preferably as a single Word document or PDF) to materialculture@udel.edu with “Faculty Research Publication Subvention Fund” in the subject field:

  • a brief statement (250-500 words, double-spaced) about your publication, its significance for material culture studies, and the publication in which your work will appear
  • a detailed budget (please be as specific as possible about anticipated costs, and list other funding sources and amounts you will apply for in support of this work)
  • a current CV

In accepting a grant the awardee allows CMCS to use any original materials they submit (such as a report and images) for promotional purposes, which could include posting to the website.
