Doctoral Research Funding

 

CIBER believes that supporting doctoral students through research funding is important for the development of future faculty members. If your doctoral dissertation focuses on some aspect of international business, you may be able to receive financial support for your research from CIBER.

In order to be eligible for a CIBER award of up to $5,000, your dissertation proposal already must have been approved by a University of Michigan college, school or department. Proposals are welcome from all disciplines, including sociology, political science, anthropology and economics, as well as business.

Allowable expenses under the award program include data-collection expenditures, such as the purchase of publications, duplication costs and online-search charges. Purchases of equipment are not allowable expenses.

In addition, the award money can be used for travel, both domestic and international, including transportation, meals and accommodations. In most cases, travel must be coach class on a U.S. air carrier and meet our federal-funding guidelines.

The deadline for receiving proposals is 3 January 2013. All funds must be expended by 9/30/2013.
