The ISLAA Research Grant aims to expand access to research funding by supporting the incredible talent of emerging scholars. Research may be conducted anywhere in the world and must be directed toward MA or PhD dissertations, peer-reviewed journal articles, and conference presentations. Research activities may include consulting resources at libraries, museums, and archives; interviewing artists, curators, and scholars; and arranging studio visits.

The Research Grant will award grantees up to $2,500 USD. Grantees will be chosen by a selection committee of scholars and art professionals.
