2024 MSI Scholars Program 
Applications Due: July 31, 2024

The Marketing Science Institute (MSI) is accepting submissions for the 2024 .

We are convening a 2024 class of Scholars over four days in January. The class will participate in the following activities:

• Individual research presentations that offer opportunities for future study that could benefit from academic-practitioner collaboration;
• Integrative exercises building upon participant presentations, focusing on how MSI can better serve the academic field, and how the field can help MSI and its members;
• Excursions, networking, and opportunities for cohort building.

Eligible faculty must apply in order to be considered for the MSI Scholars program. Submissions will be accepted through July 31, 2024. MSI and the Scholars Committee will then select approximately 30 individuals representing diverse research perspectives focused on MSI-relevant problems. Scholars are committing to attending the full conference in person if chosen and to supporting MSI activities in the following two years.

ELIGIBILITY AND APPLICATION PROCESS   

Eligible academics for the MSI Scholars program will be mid-career level researchers, specifically those scholars at or on the cusp of full professor, and within 10-13 years of first faculty appointment (for 2024 Scholars, this criterion implies those receiving their first faculty appointment between 2011 – 2014 are eligible). They should have a keen understanding of the importance of academic-practitioner partnerships and be prepared to share ideas for practical application.

MSI encourages eligible academics to submit applications for consideration for the 2024 Scholars Class.

Along with a curriculum vitae (CV), the application must include a 2-page summary of the translational implications of the applicant’s past and future research for MSI’s research priorities, business practice, and industry trends, including a summary of the key findings from the scholar’s two most important papers from the past five years, and additionally a paragraph outlining potential contributions to MSI. Additionally, please follow the instructions on our website to submit an Excel publication summary file.

SELECTION PROCESS   

The MSI Scholars will be selected by the Scholars Committees, and participation will be limited to approximately 30 individuals from the pool of applicants.

Selection is highly competitive. The committee will consider:

• A paragraph summary of the substantive contributions of the candidate’s two most important papers of past 5 years.
• Field service and leadership.
• Citations and other evidence of impact on the field of marketing (best article awards, etc.)
• Research productivity and quality in top business journals and relevant publications in adjacent disciplines.
• Relevance of research to the MSI member community and past involvement with MSI.

In selecting the 2024 class of MSI Scholars, the committee will seek a balance across the various sub-fields in marketing, and applications are open to other disciplines where appropriate (e.g., economics, statistics, psychology, and computer science) if the candidate is working on emerging business, technology, and public policy issues of interest to member companies.

Selections will be made in early autumn, 2024 at which time all applicants will receive notification from MSI and the Scholars Committee regarding their application for the Scholars Class of 2024. Selected scholars will be asked to commit to attending the conference as a firm condition for receiving this prestigious honor and should anticipate active engagement with MSI following the conference.

If you have any questions regarding the application process, please email research@msi.org.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Best regards,
MSI Team
