Description
The American Accounting Association’s Government and Nonprofit (GNP) Section sponsors this competitive grant program to help doctoral candidates defray costs necessary to complete dissertation research on governmental and nonprofit topics. Candidates at doctoral-granting institutions in the United States or abroad may apply, provided they have a major or emphasis in accounting.
The program focuses on direct research expenses rather than general educational or equipment costs. Support can cover or reimburse travel to collect data, data purchases, and questionnaire preparation and mailing. Other essential research expenses, such as data coding and entry, may be considered with adequate justification. The application must explain the project’s current stage, anticipated completion, and how grant support would contribute to the dissertation.
