Submit a Sponsored Research Proposal

PMI Academic Resources Opens Call for Research Proposals

This year’s call for proposals for 2013 funding opens on 1 February and closes on 25 April 2012.

We seek proposals from scholars, both within and outside the field of project management, including management, organizational psychology, sociology, education, linguistics and others. Proposed research must have a direct application to some aspect of the project management body of knowledge or its practice. In addition, we encourage 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.

Those advancing to the second round will be notified by July 2012. All grant recipients will be notified of awards up to US $50,000 by November 2012. Funded projects begin on 1 January 2013.
