Academic publishers may apply for subsidies for the publication of scholarly works related to the goals of the Foundation. Applications will be accepted for specific completed book manuscripts, but not for books to be published in a series. Supporting documents should include reviewers' comments and publishing costs. Publication subsidies usually range between $5,000 to $10,000. For further details, please contact the Foundation's North American Office.
For periodicals and journals, the Foundation will support one year's worth of publication. The application for the publication of conference proceedings requires a completed, edited draft.
The Foundation's grants provide support for research on Chinese Studies in the humanities and social sciences.
Funding is not provided for capital equipment (including computers and printers), building design, construction, or maintenance.
