Seminar grants are now available to promote the dissemination of research findings among Center Faculty and Industry Studies Affiliates. The funds available in this program are targeted especially to promote career development. With this in mind, proposals from Assistant Professors in the tenure stream and from Associate Professors who have earned tenure are especially encouraged. Similarly, proposals would be very welcome from senior scholars who agree to invite junior colleagues to present papers in their department, school, or research center. Grants under this program are limited to a maximum of $5,000, depending on the number of speakers and related expenses. Proposals may be brief, but they should describe the seminar theme and time table (semester or academic year). Also, speakers should be identified in advance of submitting a formal proposal. Normally, 4-5 speakers invited to present papers around some general theme would constitute a series. Informal inquiries to the IS Committee concerning this program and possible seminar themes are strongly encouraged.
