Grants & Opportunities

The IAS seeks to promote the creation and dissemination of new knowledge regarding Italian art of all time periods.  Central to this mission is support for scholars at all facets of their careers.  To this end, the IAS provides travel grants to support graduate students, recent Ph.D. recipients, and international scholars presenting at CAA, Kalamazoo, and RSA.  The IAS has also compiled a list of outside funding sources for research in Italy or on Italian topics.  The IAS’s bulletin board serves as a meeting place where members can post research questions, find research and employment opportunities, or seek assistance with overseas living arrangements.  Finally, information on visas and other practical matters can be found on the Affiliates & Links page.

IAS Announces Changes to Its Travel Grant Competition

At the 2010 CAA Business Meeting, the IAS membership unanimously voted for several important expansions to its Travel Grant Competition.

• Graduate students at any level (M.A., M.Phil., or Ph.D.) are now eligible for Travel Grant support.

• Scholars who are within 10 years of the receipt of the Ph.D. and do not hold a tenured position are now eligible for Travel Grant support.

• Awards may now be used for travel to the Renaissance Society of America as well as to the College Art Association and International Congress on Medieval Studies.

These changes take effect with the 2010–2011 Travel Grant competition.  The deadline for applications is November 1, 2010.  For more information, please visit the travel grants page.
