Assistance is in the form of subsidies for production costs only (printing and binding).

Special consideration may be given to applicants from nonprofit organizations and applicants who intend to publish
academic works. In such cases, the maximum subsidy may be extended to one half of the printing and binding costs. The amount of the subsidy will not exceed a total amount of ¥1,000,000.
Only publishers (organizations) are eligible to apply for this program. Applications from authors, translators, or other individuals will not be accepted. Works in the natural sciences are not eligible. Publications must be completed between April 1, 2008 and February 28, 2009.
