Abigail Reynolds Hodgen Publication Funds

This endowment was established in 1937 to assist with the publication of manuscripts by women graduate students or women faculty (members of the Academic Senate) in the Social Sciences.

Awards are up to a maximum of $5,000 . Proposals are restricted to those that require funding for publication costs only.

Proposals need not be more than one or two pages. They should include the manuscript title, a brief description of the project, and a budget breaking out the different items on which funds are to be spent.

Examples of previously approved proposals:

• Permission/copyright charges for illustrations
• Hiring a UC Berkeley GSR to assist with editing and indexing a book manuscript
• Hiring a cartographer to prepare maps for an article to be submitted to a journal
• Hiring a copyeditor
• Reprint and printing costs
• Printing supplies, photocopying, mail costs
• Attendance at a conference to "workshop" a book chapter or paper that has been accepted for publication

Examples of denied proposals:

• Computer purchases
• Travel to perform research
• Stipends to applicant
• Attendance at a conference to present a paper that has not yet been accepted for publication

It is strongly recommended that budgets be reviewed by Department managers. Budgets involving UC Berkeley payroll (e.g., a GSR) must estimate benefits costs (which include fee remission costs as appropriate).

Requests should be addressed to Dean Carla Hesse and submitted via email by the Department Chair with his/her brief endorsement to Associate Dean Cathryn Carson (clcarson@berkeley.edu). The due date is April 5, 2013. Awards should be expended by June 30, 2014. If an extension is needed on the timeframe for expenditure, Budget Officer Helen Workman (hworkman@berkeley.edu) will consider it on a case-by-case basis.
