Request for Proposals
The North American Case Research Association (NACRA) is a nonprofit, voluntary
professional association whose mission is to promote excellence in case research,
writing, and teaching in business and other administrative disciplines. NACRA
will make at least two grants to support case research during the 2010-2011
academic year.
Funding Categories
Grant proposals may target one or a combination of the funding categories described below.
- Using Cases to Build Theory Grant: These grants support
research that utilizes case research to generate new theories in business
and administrative disciplines such as accounting, business & society/ethics,
business policy & strategy, education, finance & economics, information
technology management, international business, marketing, not-for-profit,
health care, social work, operations/supply chain management, organizational
behavior, organizational theory, human resource management, and small business
management/entrepreneurship.
- Teaching with Cases Research Grant: These grants support research leading to a better understanding of the effectiveness of the case method of teaching.
- Teaching Case Development Grant: These grants support
the development of decision-focused teaching case(s) based on field research
or other primary sources and a comprehensive analysis (instructor’s
manual or teaching note). Fictitious cases will not be funded. Disguised
cases are permitted. Cases should address issues in business and other administrative
disciplines such as those listed above. Special consideration will be given
to integrative cases designed for use across multiple courses in the curriculum.
The final product of the grant research is expected to be an article or case
accepted for publication in the Case Research Journal.
Submission Guidelines are available here in PDF format.
All submissions must be received by June 1, 2010. If you would like
feedback on the appropriateness of your proposal or have a question about
the review
