Description
The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation’s Venetian Research Program awards travel grants to individual scholars studying the history of Venice and the former Venetian empire, as well as contemporary Venetian society and culture. It supports work across the humanities and social sciences through separate U.S. and British & Commonwealth application tracks.
Eligible subjects include archaeology, architecture, art, bibliography, economics, history, history of science, law, literature, music, political science, religion, and theater. These fields are illustrative rather than exhaustive; other relevant research interests are also considered. Funding supports research travel and related expenses, with additional opportunities for previous grantees to consult Venetian materials outside the principal research region.
