Hilles publication fund

Applications are now being accepted for the Frederick W. Hilles Publication Fund.

The fund was established by the late Frederick W. Hilles to assist younger scholars in the humanities at Yale in the publication of their manuscripts. It is administered by the Council of Fellows of the Whitney Humanities Center. Preference will be given to applications from associate professors, assistant professors and instructors. As funds permit, the Council will consider applications from other faculty, such as lecturers, lectors and adjunct, who have been members of the Yale College faculty for at least two years. No more than $5,000 will be awarded to any applicant for any one book.

The author should apply only after the manuscript has been accepted for publication by a university or scholarly press, preferably the Yale University Press. The application should include a summary of the manuscript and at least two reports, one from the publisher or editor, and one from a recognized scholar, attesting to the merits of the manuscript. The manuscript must have the endorsement of a publisher, who should demonstrate that a subvention is necessary and include a breakdown of costs.

Applications and supporting documents are due Nov. 1 and should be addressed to the Chair, Hilles Publications Fund, Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall St., New Haven, CT 06520.

Graduate literary magazine

The Graduate Literary & Arts Magazine is currently accepting applications for staff positions, as well as submissions of poetry, prose, non-fiction, art and photography.

The deadline for applications is Tuesday, Oct. 15; the deadline for submissions is Tuesday, Dec. 17. The first issue will be published in March. Applications and submissions are decided on a rolling basis.

Griswold research fund

Faculty members are invited to submit applications for A. Whitney Griswold Faculty Research Fund awards.

The fund was established to help Yale faculty carry out research in the humanities. The award is for the projected research of full-time faculty members on continuing appointment in any department or division of the University.

Funding of up to $2,500 per academic year may be sought for purposes such as travel to inspect primary-source materials; acquisition of inaccessible books or microfilms, which would later be transferred to a University library; or assistance with research, indexing and manuscript preparation. The award is not intended for reimbursement of expenses already incurred.

Faculty members requesting amounts over $1,000 should also apply to other sources of support. The deadline to submit applications, along with supporting materials, is Nov. 1. Applications may be obtained at www.yale.edu/whc or by calling (203) 432-0670.

All materials should be sent to the Chair, Griswold Fund Committee, Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall St., New Haven, CT 06520.
