The maximum amount for any grant will be $3,000. Awards may be for any legitimate research costs associated with the production and publication of original work in the humanities.

Kayden Book Awards

Each year faculty members publishing in the Humanities are invited to submit books in progress for the Kayden Book Award. An awardee will receive a $1000 research account, and their department will receive a $4,000 grant to organize a one-day manuscript symposium. Edited book submissions will only be considered if all authors are currently employed at 精品SM在线影片.

The symposium will involve both the author and experts in the author鈥檚 field who will present critiques of the book to which the author will respond. The symposium will be open to the wider academic community and the public. Funds must be disbursed by the end of the academic year following the award听or returned to the Fund.

To be considered, the project must be close to final submission for publication. For example:

  • Scholarly monographs will be under peer review by a scholarly press, and/or the author(s) will be in the process of final revisions in response to those reviews, and/or will be under contract with a reputable press but not yet in print.
  • Creative writing will be submission-ready, or will be under review, or will be under contract with a reputable press but not yet in print.
  • Digital projects will have the approximate scope of a book and will be original scholarly work (in the process of review) or original creative work (submission-ready, or under review, or under contract with a reputable press).

A book may be nominated by the author, or by another CU faculty member.

The application file will consist of

  1. a letter of nomination (maximum, 750 words), may be self-nominated or other;
  2. a copy of the book in digital format (or a link to a preliminary version of the digital project);
  3. a complete list of the nominee鈥檚 publications; and
  4. other supporting materials (e.g. a contract letter from the press, readers comments, etc.).

For the Kayden Book Award, please submit your application file, consisting of the letter of nomination, the list of nominee鈥檚 publications and听other supporting documents in a single Microsoft Word or PDF file.听The application file should be submitted via e-mail to Layne Lewis (layne.lewis@colorado.edu) before or on the day of the application deadline, 5 p.m., Feb. 21, 2025.

The Book Award Committee will consist of at least three faculty members nominated by the Divisional Dean of the Arts and Humanities.听Members will serve for just one year. Those who serve on the Book Award Committee will not be eligible to be nominated for the Kayden听Book Award during their tenure on the committee.

Background to the Eugene M. Kayden Fund

Eugene M. Kayden was born in Russia in 1886. He came to the United States at the age of sixteen, enrolled at UCB in 1908, and graduated in 1912 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics. In order to improve his English while he was attending UCB, Kayden worked on translating Russian plays, poems, and other literary works into English. Kayden continued with the advanced study of economics at Princeton and Harvard and embarked on a distinguished career as a scholar and teacher of economics, serving on the faculty of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, from 1923-1955.

Professor Kayden focused his scholarly pursuits on literature and economics. He held two convictions that were fundamental to his achievements as a translator. He believed that the best way to understand Russia was through her literature, and that cultural understanding was basic to world peace. Professor Kayden always maintained a particular attachment and loyalty to the University of Colorado, the place where his lifelong interest in Russian translation began. His gifts to his alma mater resulted in the creation of the Eugene M. Kayden Fund, the income from which is used for the advancement of the humanities;

The Eugene M. Kayden Fund 鈥 composed of the Kayden Humanities Bequest, the Dora Kayden Gift, and the Eugene M. Kayden Gift 鈥 is administered by the University of Colorado Foundation. In 1980 the Kayden Advisory Committee was established and was responsible for advising the Chancellor of the University of Colorado at Boulder on the distribution of the income from the Fund. In 2004 the Fund was transferred by the Chancellor to the College of Arts and Sciences. The Dean of the College assigned the management of the Fund and of the awards to the Associate Dean for Humanities and the Arts. In 2006, the Associate Dean convened a Committee of senior faculty to review the structure of the awards. The Review Committee made recommendations for restructuring the awards to make them more effective in promoting scholarship and publication in the Humanities. While the terms of these gifts are not as clearly documented as they would be now, within the Foundation documents a number of aims are described:

  • 鈥渢o advance humanities by aiding in the publication of deserving works鈥
  • 鈥渟upport faculty publication in the field of the humanities鈥
  • 鈥渇inancial assistance should be granted for creative work and not for textbook writing.鈥
  • 鈥渟ubsidize original works in the history of philosophy鈥.

The Review Committee considered these to constitute a broad mandate to foster and promote publication in the Humanities, research leading to publication, and the celebration and dissemination of such excellent published scholarship. The Committee determined that the funds should be used to promote scholarship and publication in the humanities at CU, across the broad range of humanistic disciplines, including the pursuit of those disciplines in other Colleges. With this mandate the Committee approved the above structure for the awards.
