SAMS (The Society for the Advancement of Management Studies) invites applications for funding to support events or activities that benefit the global management studies community.
SAMS normally expects to fund to a maximum of £10,000, but most awards are significantly less than this, therefore it is expected that there should be other sources of support. Examples of previous funding recipients can be found here.
Priority will be given to proposals that contribute to the development of doctoral students and/or early career academics. Applications for repeat funding will be considered in exceptional cases only.
The funds are for the organisation of WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS ONLY. The funds are NOT to fund the following:
- Research Projects or individual pieces of research;
- Travel to an existing conference (e.g. AOM) even if for the purpose of holding an event there;
- Creation of websites or technical hardware;
- Staff costs or salaries in any form, including fees or honoraria for speakers or instructors;
- Events or workshops that are already funded wholly or in part by SAMS or JMS.
When completing the application form, please make clear how SAMS’ funds will be used and how they will result in demonstrable benefits to management studies’ diverse community.
The application form can be found here: SAMS Funding Application Form November 2025
