Organization and Management Theory OMT

NTR's grant program supports new initiatives in research and teaching in the field of negotiation
and conflict broadly construed.

We have specific interests for 2026:
RESEARCH NTR continues to be interested in funding research at the interface of AI and
negotiation or dispute resolution. Research that uses the NTR supported Vanderbilt Negotiation
Coder https://www.ainegotiationlab-vanderbilt.com/ is of special interest. The Coder has a
choice of three different validated coding models.
NTR is also interested in materials for multiple parties, and materials with supporting
multimedia.
TEACHING NTR is particularly interested in funding simulations that have companion
multimedia or video teaching tools (for example, a mediation simulation that has a video
recording demonstrating best practices for that mediation) or is designed for AI supported
technology. The teaching materials should be designed to train students to be effective
negotiators, mediators, arbitrators OR advocates in mediation or arbitration.

Eligibility. Scholars globally and in a variety of disciplines usually from psychology, economics
law, management are eligible to apply for research and teaching grants. NTR's grants are paid
to the scholar's institution. Grants may range from $5,000 - $10,000 or occasionally more
depending on the project. NTR is a nonprofit organization and does not pay institutional
overhead.

Proposals are due April 1, 2026, with funding decisions expected by June 15, 2026.  NTR
expects projects to be completed within two calendar years of receipt of the grant.
