The BoR is the predecessor of the Babson Faculty Research Fund; its mandate was to encourage and support a variety of research activities. The Board of Research Working Papers are the result of competitive research awards. Final Product Papers were reviewed by the BoR ten-member faculty committee representative of each academic division. A majority must have accepted the paper before it was included in the Working Paper Series. Topics range from areas of business to the liberal arts and humanities.
