Library Research Grants provide partial, short-term support for costs relating to travel and living expenses to scholars whose research requires use of specific collections housed in the Research Library at the Getty Research Institute. A Library Research Grant is not a prerequisite for obtaining access to the Research Library.
Eligibility
Library Research Grants are intended for scholars of all nationalities and at any level who demonstrate a compelling need to use materials housed in the Research Library, and whose place of residence is more than eighty miles from the Getty Center. Projects must relate to specific items in the library collection. (To search the collections, please visit the Research Library.)
Terms
Library Research Grants are intended to provide partial support for costs relating to travel and living expenses. Library Research Grants range from $500 to $2,500, depending on distance traveled and duration of stay. The research period may range from several days to a maximum of three months but must take place in 2008. Refer to the application form for complete information.
Application Availability and Deadline
Completed application materials must be received in the Getty Foundation office on or before November 1, 2007. We regret that incomplete or late applications (those received after November 1, 2007, regardless of their postmark date or place of origin) cannot be accepted for consideration. Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications hand-delivered to the Getty Center or sent by e-mail or fax. Application materials cannot be returned.
Notification
Applicants will be notified of the Research Institute's decision in December 2007.
Review Process
Library Research Grants are awarded on a competitive basis. Applications will be evaluated by the Research Institute based on the following:
- how crucial the Research Library's collections are for the applicant's research;
- whether the research goals can be achieved in the requested time;
- the significance of the research project; and
- the availability of the collections during the research period requested.
Unsuccessful applicants are still welcome to use the Research Library in accordance with its access policy.
For Research Library appointments and reference assistance, please call 310.440.7390 or contact the Reference Desk.
