IACM is honored to once again announce a call for applications for the Marjorie and Daniel Druckman Research Fellowship. This fellowship provides an opportunity for yearly support of new research by doctoral students (matriculation in a doctoral program) and post-docs (up to two years following the doctorate and prior to a faculty position).
The funding will cover a portion of the costs for a research project conducted during the course of a year, beginning at the conclusion of the annual meeting and concluding at the beginning of the next annual meeting.
The research topics are to be on the broad themes of negotiation, identity, and justice. The amount of funding will be up to $5,000 to be spent on the project including design, data collection, writing, and only project-related travel expenses for data collection.
Funds cannot be used on stipends. The project’s results will be submitted for presentation at the annual IACM meeting* and the recipient should prepare a paper for possible publication in NCMR**.
The application consists of a three-page proposal structured generally into the following sections.
- Purpose of the research, including research questions
- Brief literature review with an emphasis on gaps to be filled
- Research design/methodology
- Methods including data collection
- Expected implications of findings
- References
All submissions will be judged by a three-member committee appointed by the IACM board.
* Fellowship recipients must present paper at a forthcoming IACM conference. Fellowship funds cannot be used for the conference.
** Fellowship recipients are expected to submit the product of the accepted proposal to NCMR for publication.
*** Fellowship recipients are expected to submit quarterly updates of the research progress alongside funding needs.
