The Terra Foundation offers Research Travel Grants to enable scholars outside the United States to consult resources that are only available within the United States. These grants provide support for research on topics concerning American art and visual culture prior to 1980. Grant funding is available for short-term travel (3 months maximum) that gives scholars opportunities to:
- Discover new source material,
- Experience works of art first-hand in museums and private collections,
- Consult local archives and library collections, and
- Establish professional networks for future research.
Funds can be used for related transportation, lodging, meals, and research fees and expenses. They cannot be used for the purchase of computers or other equipment.
ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must be doctoral students and postdoctoral and senior scholars outside the United States.
Travel should be undertaken within one calendar year after the announcement of the selection results.
Final report must be submitted within three months of completion of travel. It should include a description of the travel undertaken as a result of the grant, an assessment of the research accomplished, and a financial report detailing grant expenditures.
