Advancing scholarship
Every year, thousands of humanists and social scientists publish their research, methods and findings in scholarly texts. These works are vital to the growth of humanity's knowledge, and they help enrich the social, cultural and intellectual life of Canada and the world.
The Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, with its mandate to support and advance Canada's research in the humanities and social sciences, answers this challenge though the Aid to Scholarly Publications Program.
The Program provides funding to help authors and academic presses publish scholarly books that make a significant original contribution to knowledge in the humanities and social sciences in Canada, but would not be published for commercial purposes.
Up to 180 subsidies of $8,000 are available each year. Furthermore, five subsidies of $4,000 are available for the translation of scholarly works. Please note that translation subsidies are in addition to the $8,000 awards. For details and eligibility criteria, please refer to the guidelines.
Championing excellence
A program with a long history of excellence, the Aid to Scholarly Publications Program supports the publication of books that advance knowledge in the humanities and social sciences in Canada, display sound scholarship, and represent significant contributions to research in their areas of specialty. Each manuscript must undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure that the quality and soundness of the work satisfy experts in its field.
Track record
Over the years, the Aid to Scholarly Publications Program has supported the publication of over 5,000 books and has played an essential role in enhancing Canadian cultural and intellectual discourse. With the Program's funding, Canada's academic presses continue to publish thought-provoking, contemporary works that contribute significantly to Canada's scholarship and enhance the strength and vitality of Canada's academic community in the humanities and social sciences.
