Research Funding

Each year PMI invests in a number of research projects from around the globe. In its request for research proposals, PMI specifies that proposed research should have direct application to some aspect of the project management body of knowledge or its practice.

PMI also encourages proposals for research 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.

Research projects selected for funding are later published as research monographs. PMI makes digital copies of these monographs available to its members free of charge.
