The TPRC is an annual forum for dialogue among scholars and decision-makers from
the public and private sectors engaged in communication and information policy. The purpose of the conference
is to acquaint policymakers with the best of recent research and to familiarize researchers with the knowledge
needs of policymakers and industry.
The TPRC offers the Graduate Student Paper award to support and encourage excellence in telecommunications
research at the graduate level. Papers analyzing any aspect of communications and information policy are
eligible for the award.
The competition is open to all individuals who were graduate or law students
on October 1, 2005 (thus,
"first-year" faculty members, industry and government professionals may be
eligible). Papers may be based
on research undertaken for a master’s thesis, a Ph.D. dissertation, or other
supervised analytical writing. Papers with multiple student authors are also eligible. Papers that are co-authored with a faculty member are not eligible for the award. Faculty co-authors also may not be added after an award has been granted.
Students wishing to submit a paper need to submit a nomination letter from their faculty advisor. The letter should include the name of the student, the program of study and a short description of the paper. The letter should be sent by e-mail to Prof. Napoli at mcgctr@fordham.edu.
The award recipients will be invited to attend (and may be asked to present
their paper) at the Conference.
All submissions should be double-spaced and no longer than 30 pages.
Papers must be submitted via the TPRC
web site (use link below). The
site contains a form that you can use to submit your information and
instructions for submitting your nomination letter. All submissions are due
by March
31, 2006 - no papers will be accepted after this date. Paper
Solicitation is now closed.
