at US schools.

Researchers at US academic institutions should be aware of the 
opportunity to have their research funded by the Innovation and 
Organizational Change (IOC) program of the National Science 
Foundation (NSF). Proposals must be received at NSF no later than 5pm 
on February 1, 2002.

IOC supports research using theory combined with empirical validation 
to expand the concepts, models, and methodologies of change in 
organizations and institutions. Proposers should work with partner 
organizations in industry, education, health care, government, or 
service. A high priority of the program is to develop valuable 
research perspectives across disciplinary lines.

Little known facts:

1. Last year IOC received 74 proposals and recommended approximately 
$3.5 million in new award grants.

2. Investigators are not required to be U.S. citizens. Awards go to 
U.S. academic institutions on behalf of individuals. 
Multi-institutional arrangements and partnerships are permitted and 
encouraged.

3. Proposals must reflect a real partnership between researchers and 
one or more organizations. Research that is proposed must include 
data from real organization(s).

4. IOC proposals are peer reviewed to determine intrinsic merit and 
broad impact.

5. The unit of analysis is organization-level, not individual (for 
information about other programs in economics; decision, risk and 
management sciences; etc. visit
