Beginning November 19, the "One University" Open Access Fund is once again made possible by contributions from the offices
of KU Provost, KU Vice Chancellor for Research & Graduate Studies,
and KUMC Vice Chancellor for Research.
Due to the significant number of applicants but limited funds during
the two-year pilot of this fund, considerable evaluation of award
results and consultation with KU and KUMC faculty and researchers resulted in
changes to the application process, criteria, and awarding of funds available for the remaining FY15 and FY16. The awarding will now be a monthly competitive process reviewed within
the first 5 business days of each month. Priority will be given to
graduate students, early career research staff, pre-tenure faculty,
those with little or no research funding to support their open access
publishing, and first time OA Fund applicants. You can find full details of the OA Fund here. To request funds, please go here.
KU, KU Law, and KUMC libraries administer and assess the program with
oversight provided by the KU Provost, KU Vice Chancellor for Research
& Graduate Studies, and KUMC Vice Chancellor for Research.
