Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation Research Fellowship in Venice, Italy

The Foundation awards grants (pre-doctoral and post-doctoral) for travel to and residence in Venice and the Veneto. These grants are made to individuals to support historical study of Venice and the former Venetian empire and the study of contemporary Venice. Grants will be awarded for historical research specifically on Venice and the former Venetian empire, and for study of contemporary Venetian society and culture. Disciplines of the humanities and social sciences are eligible areas of study, including (but not limited to) archaeology, architecture, art, bibliography, economics, history, history of science, law, literature, music, political science, religion, and theater.

Applications will be entertained for grants up to a maximum of $20,000 for a full academic year. Grants for the maximum amount are rarely awarded, and successful applicants are frequently awarded less than the amount requested. Funds are granted primarily for research in Venice and the Veneto only, and for transportation to, from, and within the Veneto.
