The Graduate Management Admission Council^® seeks research proposal submissions to the Management Education Research Institute (MERInstitute) Grants Program. Last year, MERInstitute provided more than $330,000 to researchers. We fund high-quality research that will have major impact on thought leaders of graduate management education as well as high usefulness to practitioners. Grants up to US$100,000 each are available. Topic areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Admission and Selection
• Careers
• Curriculum
• Defining and Evaluating Success

Data from the extensive large-scale data sets gathered through GMAC^® surveys of prospective graduate management students, current students, alumni, and employers are available for licensing.

The deadline for submission of proposals for the Grants Program is October 13, 2006. Awardees will be notified by December 15, 2006. Visit http://www.gmac.com/MERInstitute for more information or contact Rachel Edgington at research@gmac.com
