Applications are accepted on a triennial basis from any curator, or curatorial team, applying in partnership with an established 501c3 non-profit (grants cannot be issued to individual curators but can be distributed through fiscal agents).

Applicants are encouraged to think expansively and challenge conventional thought through the exploration of critical ideas in the context of contemporary art.
The grant provides $10,000 for research.

- Research on a single artist, retrospective, re-installation, and/or artist collective
- Research that do not involve contemporary art (post 1950)
- Research for an exhibition already scheduled to be realized
- Research on an exhibition that would most likely take place outside of the United States
