Introduction
Academic Advisory Council for Signage Research and Education Emerging Fellows Program
CALL FOR PROPOSALS: AACSRE Emerging Fellows Program
The Academic Advisory Council for Signage Research and Education (AACSRE), through its Emerging Fellows program, will provide research support for projects related to the societal benefits of on-premise signs. The research support is intended to stimulate and extend research projects by scholars from public and private universities in the United States who have demonstrated promise and/or success in conducting research related to signage. The scope of proposals may vary widely across disciplines and methodologies. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Scholarship of legal issues related to signs and wayfinding
- Creative activity related to the design of new signs or the reuse of existing signs
- Engineering studies related to signs and traffic safety and mobility
- Economic analysis related to the value of signs
- Marketing or other business research on the value of a brand or logo as depicted on a sign
Fellowships of up to $10,000 per year will be awarded to support the development and dissemination of signage research. Funds may also be used for the acquisition of technology to support research. AACSRE may issue 1-3 fellowships per year. Fellows of this program will hold this title for two years.
Applications and/or questions should be directed to Patty Herbin at patty@aacsre.org or telephone +1 336-260-3197.
