Dear colleagues,
It's the 10th year of the Research Impact on Practice Award, sponsored by ONE and the Network for Business Sustainability.This award speaks to our goal of changing the world: it recognizes peer-reviewed research that has important implications for practice, focused on any dimension of social or environmental sustainability.
We hope that you will consider applying yourself, or nominating another. Submissions are due April 30, for research published during the last calendar year. The winner will receive $500 cash and their research will be promoted through NBS's international network of business leaders, researchers, and students. Apply for the 2022 Research Impact on Practice Award
