SAMS and BAM Research and Capacity Building Grant Scheme 2024 - Application portal opens Monday 30th October 2023

The Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS) and the British Academy of Management (BAM) are pleased to announce the launch of the third round of funding for the SAMS/BAM Research and Capacity Building Grant Scheme.

The scheme partnership strengthens the commitment of both organisations to support management research and promote capacity building.

The SAMS/BAM Research and Capacity Building Grant Scheme:

SAMS/BAM Research and Capacity Building grants are aimed at UK-based researchers who want to boost their research capacity and/or network within and beyond academia by

• extending or adding a new dimension to a substantial existing research project.
• undertaking a substantial new research project highlighting the social value of management research on your own or with a small team of co-investigators.
• connecting with other scholars across disciplines to produce collaborative outputs or build an interdisciplinary and/or international investigator team as a foundation for further research.

We particularly welcome applications:

• from interdisciplinary and/or international investigator teams; investigator teams involving members from underrepresented ethnic groups, countries, or regions; and investigator teams involving practitioners.
• for which other funding (at least in-kind) from the Principal Investigator’s employing institution and/or a third party has been secured.
• in which a long-term trajectory of research is apparent.

The maximum value of the award is £60,000. The duration of projects will be between 18 months (minimum) and 24 months (maximum). It is expected that one project will be funded in this third funding round.
