Applications will be accepted in English only. All applicants must use the provided application form to submit applications, by email, to research@ibo.org.
Individual awards will be granted up to US$20,000 each. Up to three grants will be awarded each year.
Award funds may only be used for expenses directly related to conducting the research, as outlined in the proposal. Examples of acceptable budget items include:
Award funds cannot be used for university tuition. Additionally, awards may not fund indirect costs (such as university overhead).
IB practitioners (administrators, teachers and heads of school employed at an IB World School), graduate students and early career university professionals are eligible to apply for the award.
While preference will be given to practitioner research, we will consider each project based on the merits of the proposal, value to the IB community, soundness of the research methods and capacity of the applicant(s) to carry out the research effectively.
Research studies should be directly related to IB programmes, students, teachers and/or IB World Schools.
The Jeff Thompson Research Award is a competitive grant. Only up to three applications per year will be selected for partial or maximum funding.
Preference will be given to research which is relevant and important to the IB, such as – but not limited to – the following areas:
The rating criteria for the application itself will include, but are not limited to, the following.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to identify a mentor prior to submitting an application. Ideally this mentor will be a university faculty member from a relevant field and will have experience with conducting research.
The mentor is expected to provide guidance on research methods and instruments, review draft reports, and ensure that the research meets quality standards.
Preference will be given to applications with mentoring agreements in place at the time of their application. The mentor agreement is part of the application form.
An implementation plan, including draft instruments that will be used in the research, should be submitted within six months of the start of the award.
Brief periodic progress reports should also be provided to the IB by email during the course of the project. Please email research@ibo.org.
Lastly, all recipients are expected to provide a detailed report of the results of their research at the end of the project.
The award will be considered completed when all application documents have been approved by the Jeff Thompson Award Committee. This may require revisions for quality assurance purposes.
