Research Funding


PMI is dedicated to working with academia to advance the effectiveness of project management through a constant cycle of improvement. The cycle starts with you. With PMI's research funding and support, your faculty research shapes the education you provide your students. Education and research advance organizational practice of project management, and the real-world experiences of practitioners inform further research.

PMI issues annual requests for research proposals (RFPs) on topics deemed important for the project management discipline. Over the last 13 years, PMI has spent US $18 million on project management research.

We support projects all over the world. Each year, we welcome new proposals for research projects.

The next RFP period begins with the call for proposals, which will be open from 1 February 2012 through 25 April 2012. Learn more about submitting a research funding proposal.
