Montvale, N.J., November 22, 2011 – To reflect IMA’s commitment to supporting relevant management accounting research, the IMA® Research Foundation (IRF), previously known as IMA’s Foundation for Applied Research, invites eligible candidates to participate in its Call for Proposals for new management accounting research studies.
Under the new IRF name, IMA’s longstanding grant program will continue to provide funding to conduct, support and disseminate relevant management accounting research, covering topics such as budgetary control, knowledge sharing, pay for performance, internal controls and risk management.
Open to any academic or Ph.D. candidate, proposal submissions are accepted on a rolling basis in all related research areas. Submissions are divided into two tracks: one for academic researchers; the other for doctoral students.
