Lovely pile of lovely books.

Permissible expenses include obtaining publication rights for art works, purchase of high-resolution visuals, translation costs, creation of maps by a third party, design of graphs or charts by a third party, podcast production costs or other field-specific expenses with proper justification.
Consultant Funds:
- Five grants of up to $1,000 each are available for U of A to engage a consultant to help with grant writing, book proposals, technical assistance or other field-specific proposals for humanities research.
Outreach Incentive Funds:
- Two grants of up to $2,500 are available for U of A faculty to support humanities-focused, community-based events for the campus or the region. These events should include humanities and interdisciplinary content and focus on outreach to a broad constituency.
