Paul Mellon Centre Research Support (Travel) Grant on British Art and Architecture

Research Support Grants are offered in the autumn and spring rounds to individuals already engaged in research involving the study of British art or architectural history or British visual culture.

A Research Support Grant is an award of up to £2,000 towards the expenses incurred in visiting collections, libraries, archives or historic sites within the United Kingdom or abroad for research purposes.

The PMC is an educational charity that champions new ways of understanding British art history and culture. Through all areas of our work, including our Grants & Fellowships programme, we promote activities that enhance and expand knowledge of British art and architecture. As an organisation, we pledge ourselves to ensuring that the histories of British art are enriched and made more relevant to a broader range of people in the future. The inclusion of voices, narratives and experiences that have been marginalised or excluded in the past will have a transformational impact on the future of the Centre and upon British art studies. Accordingly, the PMC particularly welcomes applications from those who are under-represented within the academic field of the humanities in the UK.

Applications are now open, the deadline is 23:59 on Saturday 31 January 2026. Referees have until 23:59 on Tuesday 10 February to submit their reference.
