The American Academy in Rome is one of the leading centers for independent study and advanced research in the arts and humanities. For over 100 years, the Academy has offered support, time, and an inspiring environment to some of America’s most gifted artists and scholars. In the historic setting of Rome, Academy artists and scholars pursue their work independently and collaborate with each other and with Italian colleagues. The Academy’s significant resources include a library, photographic archive, and archaeology study collection. The Library is strong in the fields of classical studies and the history of art and architecture. The Photographic Archive provides a visual record of the architecture and topography of ancient Rome and Italy and the Roman Empire, as well as collections on archaeology, art and architecture, landscape architecture, and gardens. Objects in the Archaeology Collection are available for study and educational purposes.
Each year the Academy invites applications for its prestigious Rome Prize Competition. Through a nationally juried process, up to 30 Rome Prize fellowships are awarded in the arts and humanities. Within the humanities, the Academy accepts applications in the following fields: Ancient Studies (through the 6th century), Medieval Studies (6th through the 14th centuries), Renaissance and Early Modern Studies (14th through the 18th centuries) and Modern Italian Studies (18th century to the present). The Academy invites proposals in archaeology, history, the history of art and architecture, literature, and musicology. These disciplines are intended to be suggestive, and comparative projects that cut across the chronological limits listed above are welcome. Two NEH post-doctoral fellowships are available in 2008-2009. The winners of these fellowships, which are 11 months in length, receive room and board, a study, and a stipend of at least $23,000.
