Grant for International Business Research

San Diego State University's Center for International Business Education and Research (SDSU CIBER) continues to support international business education and research across the entire University community and is pleased to announce its Annual Faculty Grant Program. While SDSU CIBER located at in the Fowler College of Business, it seeks to promote international business education and research throughout the university. The general conditions for the grants are:

• All tenured, tenure-track, and full-time SDSU faculty are eligible to participate
• Awards may be used for stipends, travel, graduate assistants, data, and research support (excluding equipment)
• Proposals are encouraged for any amount up to $10,000
• Multi-year projects which have an extensive scope are also encouraged
• All proposals will be reviewed irrespective of the budget
• CIBER will accept application on a year-round basis
• Reviews will be completed within 4 weeks after the application is received
• Applications which do not meet the mandate of CIBER will be returned without review

SDSU CIBER will continue to support its Faculty Award Program by allocating funds for high-quality internationally oriented business, language, culture research. Any topic and pedagogy which address CIBER's objectives will be reviewed. A key component of the award is the promotion of research on international entrepreneurship.

CIBER will use a rigorous selection procedure and a stringent accountability model. Competition for the research awards will be announced to the entire campus community. All proposals will be reviewed, with input from experts on the subject matter within SDSU (where possible). Successful applicants will receive funding through a three-tired approach beginning with: 1) project initiation; 2) an accepted SDSU CIBER working paper; and finally, 3) publication in a journal or scholarly book with an international business theme. 

To support this high quality thematic research strategy, CIBER will sponsor a Faculty Development Initiative for Research. An internal audit indicates that there is significant interest in IB research among SDSU faculty member who are not currently doing so.  CIBER will facilitate the conversion of this interest into reality by sponsoring a forum for faculty award recipients to discuss research projects and demonstrate research design to other interested faculty as well as inviting editors from top IB journal to discuss the process of research and how to publish in their respective publications. Faculty award recipients are expected to participate in these activities which are designed to encourage top-quality thematic publishable research. 

Evaluation Criteria for Faculty Awards

The following criteria will be used to evaluate all proposals:

1. Relevance of the proposal to the objectives of the CIBER program;

2. Clarity of writing;

3. Quality of the method and analytic approach;

4. Potential for publication in a referred journal (or equivalent).

The annual conference rotates from McGill every second year, and has been held in (e.g.) Finland, Italy, Scotland, Denmark, Chile, UK, Ireland and UAE. The 2018 conference was held in Halmstad University, Sweden.
