2020 Research Grant Application
The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) is soliciting original research in all areas of supply chain. CSCMP is accepting proposals for new research that will provide insight, perspective and best practices in all areas of the global supply chain, addressing supply chain issues involving supply chain strategy and operations, as well as supply chain analysis and decision making.
More specifically, CSCMP has particular interest in research which address topics such as e-commerce and omni-channel, last mile delivery, impacts of emerging technologies (i.e. blockchain, additive manufacturing), sustainability, ethical considerations in supply chains, food safety, humanitarian logistics, supply chain risk management, and urban logistics. In addition, CSCMP prefers research with a financial focus, with particular emphasis on an accompanying dataset/database. Finally, the research could be enhanced by specific attention to placement in a global setting or consideration of unique dynamics of particular industries (e.g. healthcare or 3PL).
The primary audience for CSCMP members who will use the research to illustrate particular supply chain and SCM principles to improve their supply chain operations and organizational financial performance. Author(s) of the research accepted by CSCMP will receive a $3,000 USD honorarium along with a free registration to the CSCMP 2020 EDGE conference, a $1895 value. The work product should be ready for presentation at the 2020 EDGE conference and presented as a full session in the “new research” track.
