Research Project Management
Increasingly, research offices offer access to project management support for a limited number of Principal Investigators (PIs) working on grant-funded projects. This service eases administrative loads and keeps major projects on track so faculty can stay focused on their research. To bring this resource to ISU, Research Development is launching an initiative to offer part-time project management support to PIs.
Project management in an academic research setting offers a range of specialized services that help researchers efficiently plan, execute, and deliver research projects while ensuring compliance and optimizing resources.
