The Strategy Research Foundation (SRF) of the Strategic Management Society (SMS) announces the 2024 Will Mitchell Dissertation Research Grant (WMDRG) Program. This program aims to support doctoral student dissertation research in the field of strategic management. Proposals should describe original research that is required for the award of a research doctoral degree (Ph.D. or equivalent).

The WMDRG funds are intended to supplement other financial resources available to students and to support elements of their research that enhance the quality, expand the scope, augment the research design, or in some other way enrich their dissertation projects.

Target Applicant

A full-time student studying strategic management in a research doctoral program at an accredited institution. Ideal applicants are at the dissertation stage with 2-3 years remaining at the time of application.

Funding

Grants of up to US$10,000 to support direct dissertation research expenses such as data collection that are required for completion of the doctoral degree (Ph.D. or equivalent). Financial support will cover direct research and data collection expenses (e.g., purchase of data or subscriptions to databases, surveys and respondent incentives, and interviews of research subjects and related travel).
