nassm doctoral research grant

The purpose of the NASSM Doctoral Research Grant is to advance scholarship in sport management by providing support to doctoral student members as they pursue projects of importance to the field and advance scholarship in the field of sport management.

Each year, grant amounts will depend upon the Treasurer’s recommendations; however, a total grant pool amount expected not to be less than $5,000 per year will be the norm. Typically, multiple grants are awarded each year; thus, applicants should anticipate a total grant pool amount of $5,000 each year to be split among grant awardees when developing proposal budgets. No more than three (3) awards will be given in a year. Awards will be announced at the Annual Conference in conjunction with the conference awards banquet.

All grant proposals are due by March 15, 2027. Prior to submitting the grant application, please read and abide by the Operating Code for the NASSM Doctoral Research Grant. Click below to upload your proposal and submit your application.
