Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • IS Workforce – labor markets
  • IS Personnel – retention, training, skills
  • Social inclusion
  • Ethics
  • IS Leadership
  • IS Entrepreneurship
  • Digital work
  • Additional topics pertaining to the understanding, use, and manipulation of IS by people and organizations

  • All publications resulting from funded research must provide a recognition citation that the work was funded (at least in part) by the ACM SIGMIS

Criteria for evaluating proposals will include:

  • The proposal provides benchmarks for progress and specifies at least one clear deliverable.
  • The proposal argues clear contributions to theory, practice, or the ACM SIGMIS-CPR community.
  • Priority will be given to proposals that show benefit broadly or have applicability across the whole MIS community relative to those targeted to a narrower audience.
  • Should no proposal rise above an acceptable threshold for funding, the committee is not obligated to recommend any projects for that funding cycle.
