GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH GRANT:
ART AND ARCHITECTURE ACROSS BORDERS IN THE MEDIEVAL WORLD

DUE BY 15 SEPTEMBER 2023, 5PM ET

This grant of $500 is intended to support an early-stage graduate student’s research on the theme of art that crosses the borders or peripheries of the medieval world. Funds should support research and/or dissemination of scholarship, which may include expenses for conference travel, site visits, or archive visits. The award includes a one-year gift membership to AVISTA.

We are grateful to Robert E. Jamison, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, Clemson University, for underwriting this grant.

The deadline for submission is Friday 15 September 2023, 5pm ET. The winning applicant will be selected by the AVISTA executive committee, and the winner will be notified by October 1. The accompanying award of an AVISTA membership will extend through the following year. The recipient should submit a short summary of the work accomplished once the grant monies have been used.

Applicants must include:
1. Description of the project to be undertaken and its relation to the grant’s focus area (about 500 words)
2. Proposed budget. If the budget exceeds $500, state how you will cover the remaining portion of the cost.
3. A curriculum vitae.
All questions and applications should be sent to: Sarah Thompson avistatreasurer@gmail.com

NOTE ON FILE SUBMISSION: Please submit PDF files when appropriate with the file named as LAST NAME first, then the item. Example: SMITHdescription.pdf, SMITHbudget.pdf, SMITHcv.pdf

A parallel grant is available via The International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA). Students may apply for both the ICMA and the AVISTA grants but would be eligible to receive only one of the awards.
