Managing Research Projects (Assistant Professor Year 2 - Development Programme)
Targeted at Assistant Professor Development Programme
Managing Your Research Project
Planning and completing your research programme is key to success in your career as a researcher.
For most Academics and Researchers, delivering upon the plans they have is a challenge in project management for which they are given little or no formal preparation. Applying for or achieving your first grant award is a major step in the project management journey which can be simplified by a better understanding of how to more effectively manage research projects.
This workshop will examine the nature of project management, identifying goals, milestones and assessing risks. We will also consider how to organise time and resources to best achieve the project goals.
During this workshop participants explore three aspects of project management skills:

- Tools to increase personal effectiveness
- Understand the project management cycle
- Clarify the importance of understanding stakeholders, scope and risk
- Plan for and anticipate timelines in a project
