Funding of Publications (Printing Cost Subsidies) by the German Foundation for Women’s and Gender Research

The German Foundation for Women’s and Gender Research supports scientists, editors, and research institutions nationwide through targeted subsidies for printing costs to publish monographs, anthologies, and exhibition catalogs in the field of women’s and gender research. Only printing costs are eligible for funding, whereby a thorough professional supervision and content-related consultation by experts from the foundation complement the application. A prerequisite for funding is a manuscript version or a coherent concept, a detailed proof of the planned printing costs, as well as compliance with the foundation’s mandate. Applications can be submitted at any time, as the allocation is ongoing. Evaluation is based on the content’s relevance to gender research, scientific quality, and the sustainable impact of the planned publication.

This offer is aimed at private individuals, educational institutions, as well as non-profit and public organizations that wish to make research results visible and accessible to a broad readership. The foundation’s goal is to document historically neglected contributions of women in society, culture, and science and to incorporate them into professional discourse. Interested applicants submit an informal application for funding including a project description or manuscript and a cost breakdown. Through the combination of financial support and professional expertise, the funding enables a professional implementation of publication projects that contribute to the development and visibility of women’s and gender research.
