The National Academy of Arbitrators' Research and Education Foundation (REF) is pleased to announce the availability of funding for new research proposals aimed at advancing knowledge in labor and employment arbitration and related fields. The REF supports studies and the publication of educational materials on grievance procedures, arbitration processes, labor and employment dispute resolution methods, and related topics. In addition to research, the REF funds educational materials and programs that meet the REF's purposes for practitioners and students of dispute resolution. Applications undergo a detailed review and vetting process, and applicants are typically notified of results within 90-120 days of applying. Further information about the application process and eligibility requirements are available here: https://naarb.org/how-to-apply-for-a-grant/. To inform potential grant applicants of the types of grants that have been approved, the REF has a History of Grants on our webpage: https://naarb.org/projects/. I encourage you and your colleagues to consider applying for funding. Several members of this list have received funding in the past. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Rosemary Pye, President of the REF at pye.arbitrator@gmail.com or researchandeducationfoundation@gmail.com.
