Call for Proposals to Host 2011 AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium
The annual AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium is a premier event in our discipline. If your school would like to host and sponsor this event in 2011, please prepare and submit a proposal for receipt no later than December 15, 2009.
The Consortium typically extends for 3½ days, arriving at the host university on Wednesday and departing on Sunday. Proposals for the AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium should include the following items:
- Cover Page that includes Chair (co-chairs) of Consortium and their contact information
- Objectives of Consortium
- Positioning/Theme of the Consortium
- Proposed Special Features of the Program
- Social Events and Experiences
- Overview of the proposed program
- Academic Environment – information about University/School/Department
- Financial Support
- Tentative Budget (Appendix)
- Biographical Sketches of departmental faculty
The AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium, typically held early summer, introduces Ph.D. students to state-of-the-art perspectives and emerging themes in our profession. Thought leaders in research and practice are invited to provide a stimulating experience for doctoral candidates as they prepare to launch their careers. Life-long professional relationships often develop through the consortium experience. The AMA and the AMA Foundation provide a total of $55,000 in support of this program. The consortium host institution often secures additional sponsorship, commitment from its own university, and uses a modest fee structure that permits it to meet projected costs for lodging, meals and any fees associated with meeting space. Other activities such as receptions and off-site events are at the discretion of the host institution.
The President-elect of the Academic Council will notify the winner and non-winners via phone call (winner) and email (non-winner) in January.
Please consider contributing to our discipline by sponsoring and hosting the AMA-Sheth Doctoral Consortium. If you need more information, or would like to submit a proposal by the December 15, 2009 deadline, please contact me.
