ISM's program for annual research grants is designed to provide a career-long, multi-generational academic program closely related to the supply management profession.
Annual Timeline:
- March 3, 2014 — Research proposals are due to ISM.
- May 2014 — The ISM Educational Resources Committee (ERC) reviews submittals, determines if proposed projects are worthy of support and recommends grant awardees and grant funding to ISM. With ISM review and approval, awardees are notified on whether or not they were selected to receive a grant.
