Funding supports graduate education in the conservation of art and material culture collections.

The Conservation Center of the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, requests funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support a two year education and training program entitled "Training for Sustainability in Conservation". The program will implement important curriculum enhancements aimed at deepening overall training in a range of issues pertaining to preventive and sustainable conservation practices. It is designed to foster critical thinking, research and treatment skills, collaborative approaches and a heightened interest in contextual issues.
