* Dr. James Grubb is the manager of the Humanities program at the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation. The Delmas Foundation, based in New York City, is devoted to promoting humanistic inquiry and artistic creativity by encouraging excellence in scholarship and in the performing arts and by supporting research libraries and other institutions that transmit cultural heritage. The Foundation offers both "grants for organizations," extending support to institutions through its Humanities, Performing Arts, Research Libraries, and Venetian Programs, and "grants for individuals," awarding travel grants to scholars pursuing research on Venice.
* Dr. Alexa Sekyra is the Head of the Scholars Program at the Getty Research Institute belonging to the Getty Foundation. The Getty Foundation, based in Los Angeles, funds research on and efforts to preserve the visual arts. The Foundation awards grants that support art historical scholarship, conserve art and architecture, increase access to museum collections and archives, and train visual arts professionals.
* Krystle Satrum is the Fellowships Program Coordinator at The Huntington. The Huntington, based in San Marina, California, is a collections-based research institute which promotes humanistic scholarship based on its library holdings and artistic collections.
