The program provides an opportunity for professionals to pursue scholarly research in an interdisciplinary manner across traditional boundaries in areas of wide general interest to the international conservation community. Conservation Guest Scholars are in residence for three to nine months. These grants are for established scholars and professionals who have attained distinction in conservation or related fields. Grants are not intended to fund research for the completion of an academic degree.
Applications are welcome from researchers of all nationalities.
In addition to the stipend, the grant also includes a workstation at the Conservation Institute, research assistance, travel funds, an apartment in the Getty scholar housing complex, and health benefits. All application materials must be received in the office of the Getty Grant Program by November 1, 2001. Materials faxed or sent electronically will not be accepted. Incomplete or late applications will be withdrawn from competition. Materials will not be returned.
