TAA Publication Grants:
TAA is offering its members publication grants of up to $750 to cover expenses incurred in publishing already accepted print academic journal articles and books including academic journal page costs or university press subventions; the cost of preparing artwork or other charts, diagrams, or images to be included in accepted journal articles or academic books; and journal reprint costs. Grants are also available for expenses incurred as a direct result of research leading to publication of a book or article, including:
- Interlibrary loan costs, or computer time costs incurred in the analysis of data, leading to publication of academic print materials.
- Costs of single photocopies of source materials for research related to the publication of an article or book.
- Costs of secretarial (copying and/or delivery) services incurred in the preparation of academic print materials.
- Cost of permissions incurred in the preparation of academic print materials for reprinting images, quoted material.
Grant funds are also available for costs incurred by the author for textbook projects, provided the textbook is not realistically expected to yield royalties sufficient to recover the costs for which the grant is sought.

TAA Publication Grants have
been awarded to:
 Dr. Kathleen King
Dr. Kathleen P. King, a professor of education at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Education in New York City, has been awarded a $750 TAA Publication Grant for expenses incurred in researching her book, The Professor's Guide to Taming Technology: Leveraging Digital Media, Web 2.0 and More for Learning, which will be published by Information Age Publishing, Inc. in July 2010.
"This grant is not only a surprise and tremendous monetary help, it is extremely validating as well," said King. "I am very grateful on each account. In the past, some of my books have been based on funded research or were less intensive in the editing process. However, this book has turned into a large project because we have a unique, very valuable contribution to the literature as our goal. From all of the TAA members, thank you for your forward thinking in providing a potential source of funding for us to pursue special projects that we might not be able to otherwise."

"I am grateful to receive this grant support," says Derrington. "I am very happy that I joined TAA and plan to remain a member throughout my career. I am on the tenure track at my university. As such, I, like many other members, have a scholarship requirement that includes research and publication. This grant assisted me in preparing the final publication and ensuring that it would be published. When I sent it to the editor of the journal, he said it was excellent and needed few edits."

 Marguerite Rippy
Marguerite Rippy, an associate professor of English at Marymount University in Virginia, has been awarded a $150 TAA Publication Grant that will allow her to incorporate a copyrighted photograph of Orson Welles from his unfinished film adaptation of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, in her book, Orson Welles and the Unfinished RKO Projects: A Postmodern Perspective, which will be published by Southern Illinois University Press in Spring 2009.
"The grant was tremendously helpful to me, since neither my press nor my university have resources to subsidize photographic copyright fees, so I am paying most of these fees out of my own pocket," she said. Read more about this grant
 Joselina Cheng
Joselina Cheng, an assistant professor at the University of Central Oklahoma, has been awarded a $400 TAA Publication Grant to cover the cost of publishing her paper, "The effects of innovative pedagogy on student learning outcomes in relation to learning styles", in the spring 2009 issue of the Journal of American Society of Business and Behavioral Sciences (ASBBS).
"The Publication Grant from TAA has made it possible for me to publish at tier-one journals that are listed in the Cabell directory," said Cheng. "One impact of publishing at the tier-one level is the scholarly credibility that can enhance my probability of tenure and promotion in an academic setting. Another is that is allows me to share my vision with readers, authors, researchers, and policy makers by promoting the integration of advanced technology and innovative pedagogy in order to promote better teaching and learning in the global e-learning environment."
