Books, Reprints, and Page Charge Reimbursements: Requests for reimbursements are made directly to the Chair of the URC. After written approval is received by the Chair, consult with your department administrative staff for reimbursement. Payment vouchers should be forwarded directly to Accounts Payable with a copy sent to Office of Research Administration Office. Refer to URC Guidelines Award Timetable for application submission due dates.
Books: The URC will support, upon request, the purchase of eight copies of the first scholarly book published by any faculty member or the first book published by any Oakland faculty scholar while employed by Oakland University. Two of these copies are to be given to Kresge Library. If the total cost exceeds $350, the number of copies requested must be reduced or the amount that exceeds $350 must be secured from another source. In cases where the faculty member is a co-author, responsible for more than one chapter, the fund will purchase four copies of the book, of which two are to be given to Kresge Library. Support for books that are co-authored may not exceed $200.
Reprints: Matching funds are required for the purchase of journal article reprints prepared by Oakland University faculty members. The URC will provide up to $150 in matching funds, upon request, for assistance in the purchase of no more than 100 copies.
Page Charges: The URC will provide, upon request, up to $200 for page charges required by scholarly journals. Even if the work is authored by more than one individual, the maximum amount per article is $200.
