Business School Faculty Honors : Leavey Grants
To encourage and support initial research projects, the Dean annually awards Leavey Grants to business school faculty who wish to explore new areas of research or develop experimental coursework. Descriptions of the resulting class or abstracts of the initial working papers are often posted in the research pages of the Business School's faculty web.
The Leavey Grants program is funded by revenues generated by the Executive Development Center at Santa Clara University.
Listed below are faculty members awarded a grant for 2005-06 and their proposed research topics.
