Summary: Supports new academic research advancing project management knowledge and improving project, program, and portfolio management practice.
The PMI Sponsored Research Program supports new academic research intended to advance knowledge and improve the practice of project, program, and portfolio management. Run by the Project Management Institute (PMI), the program has operated since the late 1990s as part of PMI’s academic research funding. Its focus connects academic inquiry with the practical work of managing projects, programs, and portfolios.
The program emphasizes both knowledge development and improved project management delivery. Research outputs reach practitioners and academic audiences through practitioner summaries, white papers, publications in Project Management Journal®, and presentations at congresses and allied conferences.
