Description
Western Michigan University’s Publication of Papers and Exhibition of Creative Works (PPP&E) fund supports the final preparation, publication, and exhibition of completed research and creative work through recognized media. It covers dissemination after research or creative production is complete, rather than conducting research or creating work for an exhibit or performance. Supported activities include publishing papers and books, distributing physical or digital creative works, and sending finished work to exhibitions.
The Office of Research and Innovation administers the program under Research Policy Council guidelines and Article 34 of the WMU-AAUP Contract. Funding is provided as reimbursement to a designated department account for approved expenses that faculty have already processed through that account.
