Researchers at US academic institutions should be aware of the
opportunity to have their research funded by the Innovation and
Organizational Change
(IOC) program of the National Science Foundation (NSF). Proposals must
be received at NSF no later than 5pm on February 1, 2002.
IOC supports research using theory combined with empirical validation to
expand the concepts, models, and methodologies of change in
organizations and institutions. Proposers should work with partner
organizations in industry, education, health care, government, or
service. A high priority of the program is to develop valuable research
perspectives across disciplinary lines.
Little known facts:
1. Last year IOC received 74 proposals and recommended approximately
$3.5 million in new award grants. 2. Investigators are not required to
be U.S. citizens. Awards go to U.S. academic institutions on behalf of
individuals. Multi-institutional arrangements and partnerships are
permitted and encouraged.
3. Proposals must reflect a real partnership between researchers and one
or more organizations. Research that is proposed must include data from
real organization(s). 4. IOC proposals are peer reviewed to determine
intrinsic merit and broad impact.
5. The unit of analysis is organization-level, not individual (for
information about other programs in economics; decision, risk and
management sciences; etc. visit
