The Post-Award Project Management Group (PAPM) offers a forum for professionals (EARMA Members and their guests) involved in providing Project Management support and services to research projects. With the growing need for research project management support and tools, specific jobs and careers to support research management are growing and diversifying. The applicability of Project Management methodologies spans the entire lifecycle of research projects, from conception to post-project activities. However, it is recognised that most Project Managers are active in the ‘Post-Award’ domain of EARMA. The Post-Award Project Management EARMA Thematic Group brings together Project managers and others providing project management support to research projects during the post-award phase.
Purpose
The group aims to serve as an educational and professional resource, support, and networking platform for Project Managers and research managers, providing project management support to research projects at the national and international levels. The group will facilitate interaction, sharing of opinions and expertise, and the opportunity to leverage each other’s experiences in research project management. Events will be co-created with members to identify themes of common interest for the community, by the community, to share their challenges and exchange advice, resources, tools, methodologies and best practices around aspects of research project management.
Meetings
PAPM TG events take place online 3-4 times a year, and in-person once a year.
