Description
This opportunity provides funding for UK research organisations to claim costs for making longform research outputs—specifically monographs, book chapters, and edited collections—immediately open access, as required by the UKRI open access policy. The fund covers direct costs associated with open access publication, provided outputs acknowledge UKRI funding and have been approved at stage one. The goal is to enable broad and immediate access to publicly funded research outputs.
