Paul Mellon Centre Conservation Research Project Grants

Annually awarded grants are available to organisations to help support conservation research and technical analysis in the field of British art.

As an educational charity committed to supporting original research into the history of British Architecture and Art from all periods, the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art is the sister institution to the Yale Centre for British Art. Based in London, the centre is a research hub which offers a supportive, professional environment for scholarly work, hosts a varied programme of academic events and provides a library of archival resources.

Conservation Research Project Grants are designed to help organisations, galleries or museums support original and innovative conservation research. It may be used towards the costs of supporting a conservator or research scholar undertaking a conservation research project or technical analysis which will lead to a research project.

Applicants must demonstrate that any project will include scholarly research within the scope of the work, and that this research will have a significant impact on the field of British art studies more broadly.
