RF-Barrett Dissertation GrantThe Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA)To encourage internal audit studies by doctoral candidates, The Institute of Internal Auditors supports an ongoing Doctoral Dissertation Grant Program. This program provides funds to selected doctoral candidates interested in the field of internal auditing. Suggestions for topics may be found on The IIA Research Foundation Web site. Each year, The Foundation announces new priorities and topics for future research opportunities. While these priorities indicate specific interest in possible research projects, doctoral candidates should not feel limited to the priorities. Grant applicants should submit dissertation subjects related to internal auditing to be considered for the grant program. See also Research Opportunities in Internal Auditing for more topics. Any doctoral candidate pursuing an advanced post-graduate degree (such as Ph.D. or DBA) in auditing, accounting, or business from an accredited educational institution is eligible to apply for the doctoral dissertation grant. Applicants should submit their dissertation proposals along with a detailed cover letter to The IIA's Academic Relations Department. Applicants must also submit two letters of recommendation by professors directly supervising or connected with their dissertation efforts. Additional details regarding the application process can be found at www.theiia.org. Individual grants vary from $1,000 to $10,000. The size of the grant is based on the amount considered necessary to allow the candidate to complete the dissertation within one year. The deadlines for submitting a grant proposal are May 15 and October 31 of each year. The Academic Relations Committee meets in June and December of each year to review proposals and select a worthy recipient. Recipients are contacted immediately after the selection is made by the ARC. Submit applications to: Michael J. Barrett Doctoral Dissertation Grant |
