Seeking research proposals on balancing risk and reward

January 2009

CIMA has launched a new research initiative into ‘Risk and reward: getting the right balance’.


We are seeking proposals from leading global researchers as part of an initiative to help organisations to manage sustainable performance through all stages of the business cycle. The role of the management accountant is a key focus. This will include performance and risk management as well as the provision of information to support effective decision-making.

For this initiative, CIMA is prepared to contribute funding to research that has already started. However, we are keen that it should be responsive to the current challenging economic conditions, so proposals with longer timeframes are less likely to be successful.

Grants are typically between £5,000 and £40,000 depending on the scope of the project and its outputs.

How to apply

We strongly advise you to read CIMA’s research strategy before application. You will find more details and application forms on our research pages.

The closing date for applications is 2 March 2009. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to present their proposals to a CIMA review panel on 23 March 2009.

The review panel will be chaired by the CIMA Professor Wim A Van der Stede from the London School of Economics.

For further information, please contact us at:
