Resources Kauffman Dissertation Fellows December 15, 2019 Share: Facebook LinkedIn Twitter Related Kauffman Knowledge Challenge >Kauffman Junior Faculty Fellows >Kauffman Prize Medal for Distinguished Research in Entrepreneurship > The Kauffman Dissertation Fellowship (KDF) was an annual competitive program that awarded up to 20 Dissertation Fellowship grants of $20,000 each to Ph.D., D.B.A., or other doctoral students at accredited U.S. universities to support dissertations in the area of entrepreneurship from 2003-2018. From its establishment in 2003, the KDF supported 208 dissertations on various topics related to entrepreneurship from a wide range of disciplines while maintaining an overall high quality of research. This program helped launch the careers of emerging world-class entrepreneurship scholars, who have gone on to find positions in top-tier universities, research arms of federal agencies, and the private industry, thus laying a foundation for future scientific advancement. The findings generated by this effort will be translated into knowledge with immediate application for policymakers, educators, service providers, and entrepreneurs, as well as high-quality academic research. The Kauffman Dissertation Fellowship was part of a group of academic recognition programs established by the Kauffman Foundation that were consolidated into the Kauffman Knowledge Challenge starting in 2018. *Also a Kauffman Junior Faculty Fellow^Also a Kauffman Prize Medal recipient Jump to: 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | 2013 | 2012 | 20112010 | 2009 | 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | 2003 2018NameDegree InstitutionDissertation TitleAlicia DeSantolaHarvard UniversityThe Dynamics of New Venture Development: Entrepreneurial Teams, Scaling, & Organizational ChangeStefan DimitriadisHarvard UniversityCultural Dynamics in Entrepreneur Ecosystems: Three Studies of Entrepreneurship in TogoJustin A.
