H. Funding and support issues

This is not currently part of the peer-reviewed material of the project. Do not cite as a research publication.

As mentioned above in Section D, several of the General Editors have been successful in gaining research funding for the project from various research funding agencies, and it is hoped that further success in this direction will follow. In the meantime, although Contributing Editors are able to use the resources and assistance made available in this way (detailed in Section D), they are also encouraged to gain research funding on their own account. Funds could, for example, be sought for the costs of travel to and per diems at archives/libraries to consult relevant manuscripts; the costs of photographs, microfilms and photocopying; research assistance and so forth. All Contributing Editors can cite the support of the project as a whole and use its letterhead, which will be available in the restricted area of the web site. However, we ask that you keep us informed of the applications you have made and their outcomes. Please send information on this subject to Margaret Clunies Ross in Sydney.

With the approval of her fellow General Editors, Margaret Clunies Ross submitted the project, through the Australian Academy of the Humanities, to the Union académique internationale (UAI), based in Brussels, for its support and endorsement. In June 2001 the UAI endorsed the recommendation of a UAI Commission ad hoc and adopted the skaldic editing project as Project No. 60. The UAI’s endorsement is something that will not bring any funds directly but may help editors gain funding from local bodies. The project will now be eligible to apply for funding from the Conseil International de Philosophie et des Sciences Humaines (CIPSH) of UNESCO. Although it is likely that funds from this source will be small, they may be able to assist us to some extent. Funds may be sought from CIPSH for the organisation of scholarly meetings and for publication costs.
