The Graduate Management Admission Council® seeks research proposal submissions to our Management Education Research Institute Grant and Fellowship Programs—
The Grants Program is designed to support research projects about graduate management education – marketing, development, and outcomes. Grants up to $100,000 each are funded for one to three year periods.
The Faculty Fellowships Program is designed to support innovative and thought-provoking research from management education leaders. The Institute offers year-long $50,000 faculty fellowships for research at the fellows’ home institutions.
The Doctoral Student Fellowships Program is designed to support doctoral students and beginning faculty to help them in their careers and support the field of management education. The Institute offers year-long $20,000 doctoral student fellowships for research at the fellows’ home institutions.
The Management Education Research Institute seeks to stimulate studies on identified research opportunities and gaps in the management education literature and support investigators that will conduct quality (and publishable) studies that add value to the management education community. We fund research projects through our grant program, innovative thought leaders through our faculty fellowship program, and talented new professionals through our doctoral student fellowship program. Last year six projects were awarded a total of more than $380,000 in funding for 2010 by the Institute. The winning proposals were selected from among 55 applications rigorously reviewed by a committee of business school faculty.

GMAC Launches New Competition to Drive Innovation in Management Education
Have a great idea to improve graduate management education? It could win you $50,000. The Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) has kicked off a new contest designed to solicit innovative ideas for how to change management education for the better.
GMAC is inviting anyone to submit three paragraphs outlining an idea they think will improve business education, and the council plans to award a total of $250,000 in prizes to the 15 people whose ideas rise to the top, with the most promising proposal winning $50,000 in cash.
Entry deadline to submit entries to the Ideas to Innovation (I2I) Challenge is Friday, October 8th. Entries will be judged by a panel of educators and business leaders from around the world, and GMAC’s Management Education for Tomorrow (MET) Fund will award cash prizes to the contest winners. The winners will be announced in mid-December.
The I2I Challenge will enter a second phase in 2011, at which time GMAC will post the winning ideas online and ask schools and other nonprofit organizations to develop ways to implement the proposal. GMAC will use monies from the MET Fund, a $10 million initiative to invest in the development of management education worldwide, to underwrite one or more of the best proposals.
