PMI Opens Request for Sponsored Research Proposals

PMI seeks proposals involving multi-disciplinary teams of scholars or teams consisting of academics and practitioners, who can potentially bring new ways of thinking and related bodies of literature to the field.

PMI is encouraging proposals involving multi-disciplinary teams of scholars or teams consisting of academics and practitioners, who can potentially bring new ways of thinking and related bodies of literature to the field. Past research has been wide ranging, addressing behavioral, operational, organizational and cultural dimensions of project management, and its various knowledge areas and processes. Topics have included the role of the executive sponsor, the impact of complexity theory on project management, stress in organizational roles, the concept stage of project management, organizational change, high innovation projects, and cross-cultural practices.
