Description
Western Michigan University’s Publication of Papers and Exhibition of Creative Works program (PPP&E) supports the final preparation, publication, and exhibition of completed research and creative work through recognized media. It funds dissemination activities after the research or creative activity has been completed, rather than the research itself or production of the creative work.
The Office of Research and Innovation administers the program under guidelines established by the Research Policy Council and in accordance with Article 34 of the WMU-AAUP Contract. Supported activities include publishing papers and books, exhibiting finished creative works, digital dissemination, and printing conference posters. Funding is provided as reimbursement for approved expenses incurred through a department account.
