Managing Externally Funded Research Projects
Saturday, Aug 6 2016 1:00PM - 3:30PM at Hilton Anaheim in Catalina 2
This PDW proposal brings together academics who have successfully leveraged external funding and leaders from external funding agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF), Strategy Research Foundation (SRF), and the National Center for the Middle Market (NCMM) to reveal blind spots, misunderstandings, and opportunities to enhance our ability to productively generate rigorous and relevant management research through external funding processes.
Our objective is to help scholars not only increase the likelihood of obtaining external funding but also help them to more effectively manage funded research projects. While external funding provides access to research funds (and sometimes privileged access to data), it is often accompanied by constraints in the form of conflicting timelines, disclosure restrictions, and pressure to develop "applied" research questions. To the extent that these constraints impede publication in academic journals, a tension may exist between the growing need for external research funds and the (potential) costs associated with managing the expectations of external funding agencies.
In the first half of the PDW, panelists will offer brief presentations describing aspects of their experience seeking or providing research funding. In the second half of the PDW, we will review one- to two-page research proposals provided by PDW participants seeking external funding.
The 2016 edition of the PDW is fortunate to count on the participation of the following scholars:
- Maryann Feldman, Heninger Distinguished Professor in the Department of Public Policy at the University of North Carolina and Program Officer for the Science of Science and Innovation Policy (SciSIP) Program at the National Science Foundation. Professor Feldman will speak about topics such as recent changes in data transparency requirements at the NSF as well as the need for NSF sponsored research to generate broad societal implications.
- Catherine Maritan, Associate Professor of Management at Syracuse University and Co-Chair of the Strategy Research Foundation (SRF). Professor Maritan will discuss the role of the SRF within the Strategic Management Society, current SRF grant programs, and challenges associated with designing programs to fund strategic management research.
- Thomas A. Stewart, Executive Director of the National Center for the Middle Market. Mr. Stewart has previously served as Chief Marketing and Knowledge Officer for Booz & Company and the Editor and Managing Director of Harvard Business Review. Tom will discuss several examples of funded research that has had a major impact on management.
- Winfried Ruigrok, Professor of International Management and Dean of Executive Education at the University of St.Gallen. Professor Ruigrok will share his experiences both on the funding side (while working at the Commission of the European Union, Brussels, in the 1990s) and on the receiving side, successfully attracting substantial corporate funding.
- David Croson, Associate Professor at Southern Methodist University. Professor Croson has substantial experience working with the NSF, with the NSF iCorp program, and interacting with the office of technology transfer at multiple universities.
- Dana Minbaeva, Professor in Strategic and Global HRM at Copenhagen Business School, and a founder of Human Capital Analytics (HCA) Group at CBS. She will share her experiences establishing the HCA Group www.cbs.dk/hc-analytics and elaborate on the challenge of producing impactful academic research through such collaboration.
- Michael Leiblein, Associate Professor of Strategic Management at Ohio State University, has attracted NSF funding for his research activities, received corporate and grant funding for his research activities, and served as a referee for multiple journals and funding agencies. He will moderate the panel session and share experiences from both sides of the process.
To ensure a high-quality experience and an atmosphere conducive to interaction and exchange of ideas, participation in the PDW will be limited to 40 individuals. To register for the PDW please navigate to https://secure.aom.org/PDWReg. If you wish to participate in the proposal review phase of the session, please submit a one- to two-page summary of your research proposal to 'leiblein.1@osu.edu' by July 15, 2016 with the phrase "Funded Research Proposal Submission" in the subject line. These proposals will be grouped by topic and shared with small groups of PDW participants with similar interests by August 1. Participants in these small groups will be asked to read each other's proposal summaries and to prepare feedback to the other participants at the table during the PDW.
Kindly,
Michael
