Dear colleagues,
Project Management Institute (PMI) and EURAM are pleased to announce the 3rd edition of the PMI Research Grant given during the EURAM conference. Previous awardees can be viewed here.
Description of PMI Research Grant
The research grant (41,000 €) is directed to members of EURAM’s Project Organizing (PO) Strategic Interest Group (SIG) in coordination with members of any other EURAM SIG. We invite proposals from scholars who are members of the EURAM PO SIG to apply as a principal investigator, together with a Co-PI from any of the EURAM SIGs. To search for proponents and find out which SIG they belong to, you may log into the EURAM E-Directory http://www.euramonline.org/login.html.
We encourage thoughtful and innovative proposals for new research with regard to project management with few notable exceptions. We do not accept submissions focused on mathematical/operations research topics with little or no direct application to the profession. This includes research whose rationale does not stem from real world issues or that does not include empirical testing on actual projects. We will entertain proposals on macro level perspectives.
Research proposals submitted for consideration MUST:
- Address the extent to which the outcomes of the project are “practitioner-ready.” The research needs to demonstrate the direct contribution to practice, not simply a discussion of implications.
- Have a theoretical framework which must be explicitly identified in the proposal.
Total funding for this program is up to US$50,000. (41,000€). PMI reserves the right to deny funding if the Review Committee does not deem any proposal worthy of financial support.
FINAL DELIVERABLES
Required deliverables will provide comprehensive discussion of the study’s results and outcomes.
REQUIRED
- The final report should address the study’s objectives, methodology, the literature in which the research question is grounded, the analysis and results. It should demonstrate clearly what you have done and with what outcome. The report should be suitable for online publication as a white paper for posting on https://www.pmi.org/, and should be directed primarily to practitioners.
- Primary article suitable for submission to the Project Management Journal
- Paper submission to/presentation of results at EURAM’s Annual Conference
- 1-hour Webinar for a practitioner audience that PMI will assist in organizing
- Choice of other optional deliverables to be selected after grant award
