The RRBM Community is pleased to announce the inaugural Call for Applications to the Dare to Care Dissertation Scholarship. Up to eight scholarships of $10,000 each will be awarded to doctoral students in business schools who are conducting dissertation research aligned with the RRBM Principles of Responsible Research. Eligible research topics will focus on economic inequality, racial, gender or other forms of social justice in organizations, thereby contributing to meeting one or more of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. 

The Dare to Care Dissertation Scholarship recognizes the importance of young scholars and their mentors to the pursuit of credible and useful research in the business and management disciplines. 

Interested candidates are encouraged to discuss the opportunity with their thesis advisor. The eligible applicant is a doctoral candidate at the beginning stage of the dissertation research; is studying in a business school in any of the disciplines as long as the research falls within the domain described above; and is familiar with the RRBM Principles of Responsible Research. Candidates are highly encouraged to participate in a Philosophical Foundations of Responsible Research course, offered virtually September to mid-November 2021.
