MAS ISP Reimbursement Award: The MAS program provides award for reimbursement of independent study project fees. Any enrolled student may apply for up to $1,000 in reimbursements awarded to two students each year to assist with ISP project expenses. This award applies only to ISP-related expenses to research and produce the final project. It is not applicable to MAS course fees or registration fees. Recipients are selected from among applicants who produce a 500 word essay explaining how the reimbursement would assist them with their ISP expenses, a description of their ISP project, and why she/he should receive the financial support. (Receipts are required for reimbursement.) for research accepted to be published in open access peer-review journals conducted as part of the MAS research option. For more information please contact the MAS program.

UC San Diego Open Access Fund Pilot Program: Beginning in Fall 2012, University of California campuses launched a pilot open access fund. This fund helps offset open access publishing charges for authors who do not have grant funds available to cover them. In the UC San Diego implementation of the fund, eligible charges include Article Processing Charges (APCs) and Open Access (OA) fees for fully open access journals (journals in which all articles are immediately available open access). Funds from the pilot may not be used for color charges, page charges, illustration charges, or submission charges. Articles must be made freely available at the time of initial publication, without any embargo periods.

UC San Diego faculty, graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, researchers, and staff are eligible to apply for funds. The fund will pay up to $1000 of the total APCs and OA fees for an article in a fully open access journal, which must appear in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Articles published in "hybrid open access journals" in which only some articles are open access and a publication fee is usually paid to the publisher do not qualify for this funding. Authors whose research is grant-funded are not eligible for funding. There is a cap of one article per author per year. Already published articles are not eligible for this funding. Authors who are granted this funding will be reimbursed afterwards; only individuals can be reimbursed, not departments. See link.
