Event Date
The Junior Faculty Manuscript Workshop Grant provides financial resources to a junior faculty member to convene a one- to two-day workshop* aimed at preparing their book manuscript for submission to a publisher. The purpose of this workshop is to provide junior UC faculty with quality feedback from experts in the field on a first full draft of a pre-tenure book manuscript in preparation for submission to a publisher for a contract or for publication (the draft must include versions of every chapter to be included in the final book). Based upon successful national models, the workshop serves as an opportunity to convene experts in the field (typically around five discussants, including one or two non-UC experts) to contribute to the intellectual development of the manuscript.
*Applicants should be prepared to present working group plans aligned with COVID-19-related restrictions on travel and in-person gatherings. As long as University-wide restrictions remain in place, UCHRI funds cannot support travel or other expenses for in-person meetings.
