The Getty Conservation Institute has launched a new residential program that serves to encourage new ideas and perspectives in the field of conservation, with an emphasis on the visual arts—namely sites, buildings, objects—and the theoretical underpinnings of the field.The program provides an opportunity for distinguished scholars and professionals to pursue scholarly research and innovative thinking 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. They receive a stipend, housing, a workstation at the GCI, and access to the GCI's resources. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis.
