Description
Dumbarton Oaks’ One-Month Research Awards support scholars and predoctoral researchers using its intellectual community, library, rare books, garden, and museum resources. The program funds projects in Byzantine studies, Pre-Columbian studies, Garden and Landscape studies, and related fields. It is intended especially for researchers unable to undertake a longer-term fellowship and scholars in related disciplines seeking exposure to these fields.
Recipients spend four consecutive weeks at Dumbarton Oaks, with some flexibility in starting dates. During that month, they are expected to make significant progress toward publication—an article or part of a larger work—or another form of professional enhancement described in their application. Predoctoral awards support dissertation research.
