The Publications Council is a Council of the USF Faculty Senate, funded by the Provost’s office, that is responsible for the evaluation of applications (available on the Council’s Canvas website) and funding of approved applications for support with costs associated with publication of research and creation of artistic works.
Any USF full-time faculty member may apply for funding for works that they have authored or created and may include co-authors or co-creators. Co-authors may be other USF faculty, USF students, or faculty from another institution. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis during the Fall and Spring semesters, but funding is limited and should be treated as competitive. The Council currently meets on the second Friday of each month for which class is in session, but applications may be submitted anytime and those received up to one week prior to each meeting will be evaluated at that next meeting.
All applications require a 50% match from another source, typically the applicant’s department or college or through external funding. The matching source is not restricted. Potential applicants are encouraged to read the Council policies, which are listed on the Canvas course website (https://usflearn.instructure.com/courses/1005053).
Any questions you may have concerning your application may be directed to the current chairperson. Click here to view the council charge, membership, and contact information.
