Alan Reddrop Research Grant at University of South Australia, 2020

The Alan Reddrop Research Grant for Family Business supports a commencing PhD or Masters by Research candidate to engage in advanced research relating to the topic of family business.

Candidates may apply to receive the scholarship on a part-time basis if there are compassionate or compelling reasons (for example, the need to provide full-time care of children, or disabled, sick, injured or elderly family members). The need to undertake part-time or full-time work is not considered a compassionate or compelling reason. 

Shortlisted applicants may be asked to attend a selection panel interview.

The grant may be used to cover:
–       travel to undertake research or for presenting at an international conference
–       collecting data
–       collaborating with international or interstate experts
–       purchases required for the research that will be directly beneficial to the candidate

 The grant funds should be utilised within 12 months of payment. If it is not expected that funds will be used within the timeframe‚ the reasons must be outlined in the written statement.

The selection panel may approve other relevant activities as outlined in the candidate’s application.

 At all speaking engagements and publications arising from the research grant, recipients will provide the following acknowledgement: “I/the author acknowledge/s with gratitude the award of the Alan Reddrop Research Grant for Family Business for supporting this research.”
