contribute significantly to the field of product development and/or the
practice of product development management. The topic of new product
management is a very broad one. Products include both manufactured goods and
services. The following are examples of research topics that fit under the
umbrella of product development management:
Product development and innovation strategy at both the product and
portfolio levels
The process of new product development and innovation
Measuring innovation or product development performance
Inter- and intra-organizational structures for new product
development or innovation
Cultures which foster and impede product development
Behaviors that support or hinder new product performance
Behaviors that impact effective interdepartmental boundary
management
Best practices for promoting collaboration among departments
Management of product portfolios
Managing new product development programs
Global new product development and global new product teams
Virtual new product development and virtual new product development
teams
Management of open innovation strategies, including alliances,
co-development and other collaborative approaches
Service and/or nonprofit development and innovation
Use of information technologies to facilitate innovation activities
Roles and interface management among functions, such as design and
marketing
Methodologies proposed for the research should be appropriate to the stage
of development of the research stream.
Evaluation Process
Proposals will be reviewed on topic importance, conceptual development,
methodological rigor, originality and fit with PDMA mission. Constructive
comments will be provided back to proposers for all submissions. Funding
decisions are expected to be completed by January 15, 2009.
The Awards
PDMA will grant up to 2 awards of up to $ 5,000 each to winning proposals.
Research teams will receive $4,000 upon award announcement. The final $1,000
will be paid upon submission of a manuscript to the Journal of Product
Innovation Management for publication consideration. Submission funding
expires 3 years after notification of project funding. Both awards will
provide researchers with access to the PDMA membership list for survey
purposes. Those who use the PDMA membership list are required to provide a
summary report of findings to PDMA respondents within 9 months of fielding
the survey. Recipients of PDMA grants may be asked to present the results of
their research at PDMAs International Conference, with conference and
travel expenses to be paid by PDMA.
Eligibility
Individuals with at least a 50% faculty appointment and Ph.D. candidates at
accredited universities and colleges are eligible to submit proposals.
Researchers funded in the past are not eligible to reapply until a
manuscript has been submitted to JPIM for already funded research.
Submission Procedure: November 1, 2009 Deadline
Proposals should not exceed 10 pages for the proposal body, including all
figures, tables and references. A separate title page should contain
complete contact information for the team. This should be followed by an
abstract. The proposal body should include the following sections: Problem
statement, conceptual development, methodology, expected outcomes and
implications for theory and practice, proposed budget. The proposal should
also include explicit identification of the sample needed to conduct the
study. An explicit statement of the expected contributions to both the

should be received by the VP of Academic Affairs for PDMA within 12 months
of receipt of the research grant. This working paper or progress report will

size of at least 11 points, 1.5 line spacing, and 1 inch margins on all
sides. Researcher identity should not be revealed in the proposal, as
reviews are double-blind. A signed statement committing to submit at least
the first manuscript resulting from the research to JPIM should be included
in the submission.
Proposals not following these guidelines will be returned to the authors
without review.

Anyone interested in biotech alliances and/or financing may be interested in
two free online "webinars" by Deloitte Recap, provider of the "Recap"
database.
The first describes some analysis by Mark Edwards on "effective" royalty
rates in licensing transactions, both across time and across different types
of alliances. It also gives some useful information about how Recap compiles
its data.
The second (just yesterday) describes the recent trends in biotech financing
- via alliances, VC, and public markets - and also contains some interesting
information about how Recap distinguishes between platform and product
biotech companies.
You can watch/listen to the online webinars by clicking the links below:
