BAM Research Grant Schemes 2025
The British Academy of Management (BAM) is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of the 2025 research grant schemes.
These schemes are part of BAM’s mission to build a thriving, pluralistic research community by supporting relevant, ethical and innovative management and business research.
ABOUT THE SCHEMES:
BAM Transitions 1 Research Grant Scheme
Maximum £6,000 for up to 2 projects
The Transitions 1 Research Grant Scheme is aimed at BAM members with a doctorate who are early in their career and wish to develop an empirical research project that advances business and management scholarship and improves their research capacities. Established researchers may be eligible to apply as a Co-Investigator but they must clearly explain their role in the work and in developing the skills of early career researchers. The scheme is open to all BAM Members; non-members wishing to apply to the scheme can join BAM.
BAM Transitions 2 Research Grant Scheme
Maximum £6,000 for up to 2 projects
The Transitions 2 Research Grant Scheme is aimed at BAM members with a doctorate who are more established in their career and wish to develop an empirical research project that advances business and management scholarship and develops their research capacities in an empirical or intellectual domain. The scheme is open to all BAM Members; non-members wishing to apply to the scheme can join BAM.
BAM Management Knowledge & Education (MKE) Research Grant Scheme
Maximum £6,000 for up to 2 projects
The MKE Research Grant Scheme is aimed at BAM members with a doctorate who want to conduct a research project that informs scholarly debate around management knowledge and education (MKE). Research projects should contribute to theoretical and philosophical understandings that inform the practice of management educators. The scheme is open to all BAM Members; non-members wishing to apply to the scheme can join BAM.
An online workshop is available specifically for people preparing to make an application to the MKE Research Grant Scheme - Wednesday 27th November 2024
