The Society for Music Theory is pleased to announce the establishment of a publication subvention fund. The grants from this fund will be awarded on a competitive basis to any member in good standing of the Society, and are intended to help authors offset out-of-pocket costs associated with the preparation and publishing of any article or book in the field of music theory that has been accepted for publication. Among the possible expenses to which the fund may be applied are the copying and setting of musical examples, the payment of copyright or permission fees, the production of unusually complex graphic and illustrative material, and the development of any relevant computer software, audio material, or other multi-media components essential to the text's production. Grants awarded may be up to $2000.

Interested applications should prepare:

1. A short abstract (approx. 1000 words) describing the work to be published and its contribution to the field of music theory.
2. A copy of the article in question, or in the case of a book, one or two representative chapters.
3. A letter from the publisher or journal editor indicating acceptance of the publication.
4. A detailed explanation of the expenses to which the grant would be applied. Where possible, documentation itemizing these expenses should be included.

Applicants may request funding up to $2000, although given the limited funds available and the desire to support as many deserving requests as possible, most grants will probably be made at significantly lower amounts. Applicants are particularly encouraged to seek out matching funding from their home institutions.

Grants will be evaluated on a bi-annual basis beginning on March 15 and October 15 of each year. The evaluating subcommittee will be co-chaired by the SMT Vice-president and the chair of the Publications Committee. Additional members will be made up of the two At-Large Members of the Publications Committee and one additional member to be appointed by the President from the Executive Board of the Society. Decisions will be announced within three weeks of the submission deadline. Applications for the first review, to begin on October 15, 1998, should be sent in five copies to Professor Thomas Christensen, Vice-president of the Society for Music Theory: School of Music, University of Iowa, Iowa City IA, 52242. For the second round of reviews (to begin March 15, 1999), applications should be sent to Professor Thomas Christensen, Department of Music, University of Chicago, 1010 E 59th St., Chicago IL 60637

Any questions may be directed to the Vice-president at the addresses given above, or by email: Thomas-Christensen@uiowa.edu.
