Description
The Society for Music Theory (SMT) awards competitive Subvention Grants to reimburse scholars for expenses associated with preparing and publishing research in music theory. Supported in part by donations to the SMT-Forward campaign, the program helps cover specialized publication needs such as musical examples, professional indexing, permissions, illustrations, and essential software or multimedia components.
The program prioritizes junior scholars and considers both a project's scholarly contribution and the difference that financial support would make to its success. In exceptional cases, subventions may support organizing conferences or leading workshops that make a substantial contribution to the field. The program does not fund research-related or conference travel, basic publication costs, textbooks, or publication through for-profit or vanity presses.
