NRAO Publication Support
Effective 16 January 2026
NRAO is once again able to offer support for author publication charges (APCs) for US authors on papers using our instruments.
NRAO and GBO provide publication support for qualified papers, proportionate to the page charges of qualified authors.
All requests for support must be made via the online form, one request for each paper.
No invoices will be paid without an approved request.
