DRRC awards
-
The 2025 cycle has closed. We anticipate announcing the next award in early 2026.
The Dispute Resolution Research Center (DRRC) at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management is thrilled to announce the 2025 DRRC-IACM Breakthrough Award. The award aims to support outstanding doctoral students from various backgrounds as they gain valuable professional experience in the early stages of their academic careers.
About the Award
The DRRC recognizes the importance of a variety of viewpoints in advancing research and education on conflict and collaboration. We are dedicated to promoting the professional development of young scholars who may face limited opportunities for networking and other career-enhancing experiences by supporting the opportunity for them to share their unique viewpoints with a professional community. To achieve this goal, we are excited to offer this award, which grants a $750 stipend to current doctoral students to attend the 2025 IACM Conference. This award will help cover expenses related to registration, airfare, lodging, and other travel accommodations.Eligibility
We welcome applications from current doctoral students who:- believe that their background, experiences, and interests will broaden the scholarly community of IACM.
- have an interest in topics related to conflict and collaboration, broadly construed. This includes intergroup conflict, conflict management, dispute resolution, and negotiations.
- have a submission that has been accepted for presentation at IACM.
Preference will be given to applicants who are attending their first IACM conference.
