2012 Summer Fellowship in Research Translation for Practice
The Fellowship provides a $3,000 summer stipend to a doctoral student or faculty member upon completion of a translation by Friday August 30, 2013.
The Fellow must translate the implications for individual practical action of any body of social science research within the field of management or leadership (broadly defined). The translation shall consist of no more than three pages of text, in addition to an appended reference list. The translation must be based on research judged to be the highest standards in the field; however, the translation may clearly state that the action implications are generalized from the scholarly research.
This translation will be re-written by a professional writer and then posted on the Center’s web page. Through this fellowship program the Center hopes to facilitate the translation of quality research into practice, and make those translations easily available to practitioners throughout the world.
SUBMISSION CRITERIA
Applicants should submit the following as email attachments to be considered:
1. Curriculum vitae
2. No more than one concise page describing the topic to be covered and explaining why there is enough solid research to begin identifying action implications for individuals
3. Sample references to the research to be translated
Criteria for a Fellowship include evidence of the ability to present an idea clearly and concisely, and a judgment that
there is enough quality empirical research to support the action implications. All submissions received by December 28, 2012 will be considered
