Residential Grants and Fellowships (Getty Foundation)

Residential Grants and Fellowships

While the Getty Foundation has many funding programs for scholars around the world, we also administer grants for scholars who come to work at the Getty Center on behalf of the Getty Research Institute, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Getty Research Institute

Getty Scholar Grants are for established scholars, artists, or writers who have attained distinction in their fields. Projects connect to the Getty Research Institute's annual theme.

Pre- and Postdoctoral Fellowships are intended for emerging scholars who are working on projects related to the Getty Research Institute's annual theme.The Getty Research Institute also offers two residential Postdoctoral Fellowships, made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Volkswagen Foundation, in cooperation with the Getty Research Institute, will support up to two postdoctoral fellowships for the 2015-2016 scholar year.

		Getty Predoctoral Fellowships

Library Research Grants provide partial, short-term support for scholars whose research requires use of collections housed in the Getty Research Institute.

Getty Conservation Institute

		Conservation Guest Scholar grants provide senior-level professionals with the opportunity to pursue research on topics and issues relevant to conservation.

		Postdoctoral Fellowship in Conservation Science provides a unique two-year research and learning experience in the the field.
