Research at Dumbarton Oaks

Dumbarton Oaks offers residential fellowships in its three areas of study: Byzantine Studies (including related aspects of late Roman, early Christian, western Medieval, Slavic, and Near Eastern Studies), Pre-Columbian Studies (of Mexico, Central America, and Andean South America), and Garden and Landscape Studies.

An international group of scholars is invited to spend an academic year or summer pursuing individual research. In addition, Dumbarton Oaks offers short-term residencies to advanced graduate students.

A program of project grants primarily supports archaeological research, as well as materials analysis and photographic surveys of objects and monuments.
