Description
The PMI Thesis & Doctoral Research Program provides research grant funding to graduate students conducting project management research that advances academic knowledge and practice. Run by the Project Management Institute (PMI), it forms part of PMI’s support for new academic research intended to improve how projects, programs, and portfolios are managed.
The program connects academic scholarship with the practical concerns of project management. PMI identifies research outputs for both academic and practitioner audiences, including practitioner summaries, white papers, publications in Project Management Journal®, and presentations at congresses and allied conferences. These formats communicate research findings through scholarly publication, practitioner-focused writing, and conference presentations.
