The Canadian Academic Accounting Association has made a research fund available to full-time faculty member or a full-time Ph.D. student of Canadian universities and colleges. There will be one call for proposals per year.
Please note there is no Letter of Intent stage for submissions for the CAAA Research Grant. Applications are via a one-step process; your proposal constitutes the full submission.
Purpose
The broad purpose of this fund is to encourage Canadian academics to undertake projects of relevance to accounting academic or professional communities. The research under this program need not lead to publication in a scholarly journal, although it may lead to one or more such publications. The research project may result in a report that is both useful to practitioners and provides background in an area that could be the subject of further academic exploration.
The main funding criteria are that the work be relevant to the accounting community, be of satisfactory quality, and be completed on a timely basis.
The relevance and quality criteria are ensured by the expertise provided by the CAAA Research Committee’s examination / approval of the proposal. The timeliness criterion is addressed by requiring a detailed time line in the proposal showing expected dates for production of reports or working papers. The reports or working papers must be completed within 24 months.
Guidelines for preparing proposals under the program are available at the CAAA website. The proposal should highlight the relevance to the accounting community and the time line for completion. All proposals must be blind, and accompanied by a separate title page, and CVs of all investigators. See the Terms and Conditions "Proposal."
The CAAA Research Committee or its delegates will evaluate proposals received and make a decision concerning suitability, including the amount of funding. The Committee’s decision is final and not subject to appeal.
