The Conservation Guest Scholar Program at the Getty Conservation Institute supports new ideas and perspectives in the field
of conservation, with an emphasis on the visual arts (including sites, buildings, objects) and the theoretical underpinnings of the
field.
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.
Eligibility
These grants are for established conservators, scientists, and professionals who have attained distinction in conservation and allied fields. Grants are not intended to fund research for the completion of an academic degree.
Applications are welcome from researchers of all nationalities.
Terms
Conservation Guest Scholars are in residence at the Getty Center for three to nine consecutive months. A monthly stipend of
$3,500 is awarded, prorated to the actual dates of residency, up to a maximum of $31,500.
In addition to the stipend, the grant also includes a workstation at the Conservation Institute, research assistance, airfare to
Los Angeles, an apartment in the Getty scholar housing complex, and health benefits.
Conservation Guest Scholar Grants support research to be undertaken while in residence at the Getty. Nonresidential research
and travel are not supported by this grant.
