About the Leadership Research Grants Program
The Fisher Leadership Initiative in the Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University, is pleased to support a research grant program for the study of leadership. The initiative awarded grants for research to be completed by the end of the 2018 – 2019 Academic Year. The most important goal of the program is to encourage and support leadership research within the confines of various academic domains. We particularly hope that awardees will submit their work to conferences in their own disciplines, as well as publishing articles based on the work in their best academic journals.
