PMI Opens Request for Sponsored Research Proposals
  (April 13, 2009)





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.

The Project Management Institute has announced a Request for Proposals for 2010 research funding on topics related to project, program or portfolio management. Preliminary proposals will be accepted between April 1 and May 25, 2009; those advancing to the second round will be notified by July 10, 2009. Awards, up to $50,000, will be announced in October 2009.
 
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.
