Grant recipients pursue their research wherever necessary to complete their projects. These grants provide opportunities for teams of scholars to collaborate on interpretive research projects that offer new explanations of art and its history. Teams may consist of two or more art historians, or of an art historian and one or more scholars from other disciplines. Grant periods and stipends vary according to the needs of individual projects, but generally support research periods of one to two years. Postdoctoral Fellowships Postdoctoral Fellowships provide support to scholars whose doctoral degrees have been conferred within the last six years to pursue interpretive research projects that make a substantial and original contribution to the understanding of art and its history.
Fellowships provide stipends for a research period of twelve months.
Curatorial Research Fellowships Now in their second year, these fellowships are designed to support the professional scholarly development of curators by providing them with time off from regular museum duties to undertake short-term research or study projects. Applicants must be full-time curators and employed at museums with art collections. Fellowships provide stipends for research periods of one to three months. The next annual deadline is November 1, 2001. Application materials will be available online in July 2001.
