    North American Case Research Association

    2008-2009

    Request for Proposals

    For $10,000 Case Research Grants

     

    The North American Case Research Association (NACRA) is a nonprofit, voluntary professional association whose mission is to promote excellence in case research, writing, and teaching in business and other administrative disciplines.  NACRA will make at least two grants to support case research during the 2008-2009 academic year.  

     

    Funding Categories 

     

    Grant proposals may target one or a combination of the funding categories described below.

    • Using Cases to Build Theory Grant:  These grants support research that utilizes case studies to generate new theories in business and administrative disciplines such as accounting, business & society/ethics, business policy & strategy, education, finance & economics, information technology management, international business, marketing, not-for-profit, health care, social work, operations/supply chain management, organizational behavior, organizational theory, human resource management, and small business management/entrepreneurship. 

     

    • Teaching with Cases Research Grant: These grants support research leading to a better understanding of the effectiveness of the case method of teaching.

     

    • Teaching Case Development Grant:  These grants support the development of decision-focused teaching case(s) based on field research and a comprehensive analysis (instructor’s manual or teaching note).  Fictitious cases will not be funded. Disguised cases are permitted. Funding will be awarded for projects that have not been previously presented or published at the time of the grant application.  Cases should address issues in business and other administrative disciplines such as those listed above. Special consideration will be given to integrative cases designed for use across multiple courses in a business program.

     

    The final product of the grant research is expected to be an article or case accepted for publication in the Case Research Journal or another appropriate journal. 

     

    Submission Guidelines are available at www.nacra.net. All submissions must be received by June 2, 2008.  If you would like feedback on the appropriateness of your proposal or have a question about the review process, please contact Mike Welsh, NACRA President, at  MWELSH@gwm.sc.edu
