GASB Opportunity for Students!

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) invites researchers to submit proposals for the Gil Crain Memorial Research Grant, which supports academic research that informs the GASB’s understanding of state and local governmental accounting and financial reporting. The grant encourages rigorous, well‑designed studies that examine how financial information is prepared, presented, and used, and that contribute to the GASB’s research efforts. Recent grant recipients include Jiseul Kim, whose work examines fund balance classifications under GASB standards, and Marc Plooster, whose research explores how the format and presentation of note disclosures affect financial statement users—illustrating the range of topics supported. Applications are due Friday, May 29. More information about the grant and application requirements is available at www.gasb.org/academics.
