Submission Guidelines
Since EasyChair permits only one file per submission, to ensure that your proposal will go through a double-blind review process, we ask that in your first submission, upload your application package and then in the second submission, upload your blind proposal document.
What should be included in the application package?
- A title page with all contact details
- A one-page, single-spaced executive summary of the proposed dissertation research, clearly stating the dissertation title, research questions, method, and expected contributions. This executive summary also needs to include a statement regarding how the monetary award would be spent to help complete the dissertation
- A proposal (see below, same as the blind proposal document uploaded in your second submission)
- A letter from the student’s committee chair or department head in support of the submission
- An up-to-date Curriculum Vitae (including a list of all completed doctoral coursework)
What should be included in a blind proposal document?
- A blind proposal document is your proposal that will be sent to at least two reviewers for their comments. It should not exceed 15 pages in length and should consist of the following sections: abstract, introduction, conceptual background, hypotheses/conceptual model, method, theoretical contribution, and implications for innovation practitioners. If the dissertation consists of multiple essays, please include a section on the overarching theoretical framework, research objectives and contributions. The 15-page limit also includes references, figures, and tables. It should be double- spaced and in 12-point font, with a 1” margin on all sides. The proposal document should follow JPIM’s guidelines for authors.
