Publishing Aid (General Research Grants – Scholarships) supports researchers in publishing especially successful Foundation-funded historical humanities projects as print or Open Access books.
Funder: Gerda Henkel Foundation
Due Dates: Rolling (Publishing Aid)
Funding Amounts: Printing subsidies or Open Access book publication costs; publishing aid budget is extremely limited
Summary: Supports publication of especially successful Foundation-funded historical humanities projects as monographs or edited volumes.
Key Information: Only projects already receiving Gerda Henkel Foundation funding are eligible.
Publishing Aid is part of the Gerda Henkel Foundation’s General Research Funding Programme. It supports the publication of especially successful projects that the Foundation already funds, rather than financing new research. Researchers may request a printing subsidy for a monograph or edited volume, or funding for Open Access publication of these book-length works.
The programme focuses on the historical humanities: Archaeology, History, Historical Islamic Studies, Art History, History of Law, Prehistory and Early History, and History of Science. Work in neighbouring disciplines may qualify when its core research question is historically oriented. Publishing aid is selective: the available budget is extremely limited, and not all eligible projects receive support.
