Research Project Management (RPM)- the structured planning, coordination, and oversight of operationalizing research projects -is increasingly essential across the research enterprise, yet it remains underrecognized and inconsistently applied.
We're conducting a national research study (survey) to better understand how RPM is practiced and perceived across institutions and roles.
If you are part of the research ecosystem-
research administration, project management, faculty, research leadership, or institutional support-we want to hear from you. Participation is voluntary. Participants must be at least 18 years old or at least 21 years old in Puerto Rico.
Complete a brief survey about your experience with research project management.
