The IIA Research Foundation
Donald E. Ricketts Research Award
In 1996, The Foundation named the this research award in the memory of Dr. Donald E. Ricketts. Ricketts had been a member of The IIA and The Research Foundation Board of Research Advisors since 1977. He had been the chairman of the Chapter Research and Doctoral Dissertation Committee since its inception. His leadership and support of this Research Program was instrumental in the ongoing success of the program.

Each year, The IIA sponsors a Research Competition for IIA chapters and institutes, and announces the winners at the International Conference. Each project is evaluated on (1) quality of work, (2) interest and practical value, (3) topic originality, and (4) basis for further research. The research must be started and completed during The Institute year to be eligible for this award. Chapters submitting projects will be awarded 20 CAP points. Please remember that March 31 is the deadline for the competition each year.

IMPORTANT NOTES
