Project Management Institute Academic Resources Opens Call for Research Proposals Newtown Square, Pa., 11 Jan. 2010—Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s leading professional membership organization for project managers, is pleased to announce its 2010 request for proposals for 2011 research funding. PMI’s Academic Resources Department annually solicits research proposals on any topic related to project, program, or portfolio management with funding provided to selected recipients. Preliminary proposals will be accepted between 1 February and 25 April 2010, and those advancing to the second round will be notified by 10 July 2010. All grant recipients will be notified of awards up to US $50,000 by November 2010. Funded projects begin on 1 January 2011. As a relatively young area of academic inquiry, project management is ripe for academic research that will advance knowledge and inform practice. Examples of topics on which little research exists include ethics and governance, project management as a career choice, portfolio prioritization, standards evaluation and development, the role of project management in government, non-profit organizations, non-government organizations, the health care industry and education. The current global financial crisis also offers an interesting and timely context in which to explore the use and utility of project management. PMI is looking for proposals from scholars, both within and outside the field of project management, including management, organizational psychology, sociology of formal organizations, education, linguistics and others. Proposed research must have a direct application to any aspect of the project management body of knowledge or its practice. In addition, PMI encourages proposals on research involving multi-disciplinary teams of investigators or teams consisting of academics and practitioners, who bring new ways of thinking and related bodies of literature to the field. For detailed information on the RFP timeline, the application process and submission guidelines, please visit the PMI Sponsored Research Submission Page. Questions should be addressed to the Research Coordinator at research.program@pmi.org.
