Project Management for Research

The tools you need to make your research project a success.

This toolkit includes a variety of tools for managing your research projects including recommendations for general project management software and tools to help you and your team manage activities from grant writing to implementation and project closeout.

Explore the toolkit below:

Grant Writing + Project Development

A Gantt Chart is a popular project management tool; it is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project’s schedule. The chart allows for organizing and viewing project activities and tasks against pre-established timeframes.

Gantt Chart Template Gantt Chart Instructions Gantt Chart Example

Graphic display of the flow or sequence of events that a product or service follows; it shows all activities, decision points, rework loops and handoffs.

Process maps allow the team to visualize the process and come to agreement on the steps of a process as well as examine which activities are duplicated. Process maps are used to:

  • Capture current and new process information
  • Identify the flow of a process
  • Identify responsibility of different business functions
  • Clearly show hand-off between functions
  • Identify value added and non-value added activities
  • Train team members in new process

Process Map Template Process Mapping Guide Process Map Example 1 Process Map Example 2

The Data Management Plan (DMP) defines the responsibilities related to the entry, ownership, sharing, validation, editing and storage of primary research data.

A data management plan must not only reflect the requirements of the protocol/project but also comply with applicable institutional, state and federal guidelines and regulations. The DMP Tool details your agencies expectations, has suggested language for REDCap and exports a properly formatted plan.

DMP Tool NIH Data Management & Sharing (DMS) Policy

The Project Charter's purpose is to define at a high level what the Project Team will deliver, what resources are needed and why it is justified.

The Project Charter also represents a commitment to dedicate the necessary time and resources to the project. It can be especially useful when organizing a multi-disciplinary, internally funded team. The document should be brief (up to three pages maximum).   

Project Charter Template Project Charter Instructions Project Charter Example

Milestones are an effective way to track major progress in your research project.

A Gantt Chart is an effective tool for setting and tracking milestones and deliverables. It is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project’s schedule.  

The proposal budget should be derived directly from the project description.

The proposal budget should follow the format specified by the sponsor. The Office of Sponsored Programs Budget Preparation webpages provide descriptions of the standard budget categories, lists of typical components of those categories, Ohio State rates where appropriate and other details to help ensure your budget is complete. Budget Preparation Resources from Office of Research The 398 grant form from the NIH is a template that includes standard categories required for an NIH grant (and many others) that you can use to develop a preliminary budget.

PHS 398 Forms PHS 398 Budget form for Initial Project Period Template PHS 398 Budget Form for Entire Proposal Project Template

The Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan first assists the research team in anticipating risk that may occur during the research project before it happens.

The plan then specifies when to act to mitigate risk by defining thresholds and establishing action plans to follow. As a fundamental ethical requirement research risks are to be minimized to the greatest extent possible for all research endeavors. This includes not only prompt identification measures but also response, reporting and resolution. Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan Template Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan Example

The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) organizes the research project work into manageable components.

It is represented in a hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the research project team. It visually defines the scope into manageable chunks that the team can understand.  WBS Instructions and Template WBS Structure Example

Implementation

A Gantt Chart is a popular project management tool; it is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project’s schedule.

The chart allows for organizing and viewing project activities and tasks against pre-established timeframes. A Gantt Chart can also be used for tracking milestones and major progresses within your research project.

This tool helps you capture details of issues that arise so that the project team can quickly see the status and who is responsible for resolving it.

Further, the Issue Management Tool guides you through a management process that gives you a robust way to evaluate issues, assess their impact, and decide on a plan for resolution.

Issue Management Tool Template Issue Management Tool Instructions Issue Management Example

A Pareto Chart is a graphical tool that helps break down a problem into its parts so that managers can identify the most frequent, and thus most important, problems.

It depicts in descending order (from left to right) the frequency of events being studied. It is based on the Pareto Principle or “80/20 Rule”, which says that roughly 80% of problems are caused by 20% of contributors. With the Pareto Principle Project Managers solve problems by identifying and focusing on the “vital few” problems. Managers should avoid focusing on “people” problems. Problems are usually the result of processes, not people.

Pareto Chart Template Pareto Chart Instructions Pareto Chart Example

Closeout, Transfer + Application

Completing a project means more than finishing the research. 

There remain financial, personnel, reporting, and other responsibilities. These tasks typically need to be completed within a timeline that begins 60 to 90 days before the project end date and 90 days after. Specifics will vary depending on the project and the funding source. The Office of Sponsored Programs “Project Closeout” webpage provides a description closeout issues, a list of PI Responsibilities and other details to help ensure your project is in fact complete.  Project Closeout Checklist Project Closeout Resources from Office of Research

A communications plan facilitates effective and efficient dissemination of information to the research team members and major stakeholders in the research project. 

It describes how the communications will occur; the content, security and privacy of those communications; along with the method of dissemination and frequency.

Project Management Software

An open-source project management software similar to Microsoft Project.

OpenProject  has tools to create dashboards, Gantt Charts, budgets, and status reports. Activities can be assigned to team members and progress monitored. OpenProject also has a tool for Agile Project Management. While the software is free, OpenProject must be installed and maintained on a local server and there will probably be costs associated with this. Talk to your departmental or college IT staff.

A secure, web-based project management system.

Basecamp  offers an intuitive suite of tools at a minimal cost: ~$20/month or free for teachers. Basecamp facilitates collaboration between research team members with features such as to-do lists, messaging, file sharing, assignment of tasks, milestones, due dates and time tracking.  

A project management tool that organizes tasks, activities, responsibilities and people on projects.

Trello can help manage research projects by keeping everyone on time and on task. It uses a distinctive interface based on cards and lists and may be especially useful for smaller projects.

Participants will learn  how to apply project management principles to typical types of research projects in academia: collaborative third-party funded research projects, individual doctoral or post-doctoral research projects, or publication management. A researcher will be able to apply or adapt the knowledge gained in this course to their everyday work.

The format of this virtual course is interactive, experience-based rather than receiving longer presentations on general project management principles. As an outcome, this course can help participants to organise their work more effectively and with less stress. This workshop is recommended to those who want to become successful leaders or members of research projects.

7 clinical trial project management courses to consider.

student-raising-hand-558042-edited.jpg

Effective clinical trial project management is vital for keeping studies on time and on budget., and project management skills are key to doing this successfully. While many project management skills can be learned on the job, clinical research project managers may find formal training programs to be highly beneficial.

Below is a list of project management courses that can help project managers get the training they need. Many of the courses are conducted online, or are hybrid programs with both online classes and in-person workshops.

Clinical trial project management tips for success

When coordinating the details of a clinical trial , there are a few tips that can be helpful in keeping the project on track.

  • Start with a project plan. Creating a project plan should be the first step before any new trial launches. This plan will establish a timeline for key milestones, outline which staff members are responsible for each element of the study, provide communication details, and include a risk assessment that addresses potential roadblocks.
  • Create a plan for potential risks. While the ideal would be to avoid any delays throughout the trial, it is better to be realistic and create a risk assessment plan. Common challenges include delays with IRB approval, staff turnover, patient recruitment and protocol changes. While this can feel like a lot to consider, planning for it in advance can ensure that challenges can be addressed more efficiently in the moment.
  • Create a plan for stakeholders. To ensure the study gets buy-in from the right stakeholders, it’s important to include them in the planning process. By using the RACI method of project management, each part of the plan will note who needs to be involved and in what capacity. The RACI method keeps track of who is: Responsible. This is the person who does the actual work of the task (for example, a marketing lead who gathers outreach material to submit to the IRB). Accountable. This is the person who ensures the work is done thoroughly, accurately, and on time. Consulted. This includes any additional people who may need to weigh in on a piece of the project, such as supporting team members or subject matter experts Informed. The individuals who are kept up-to-date on the progress of the project, but don't need to give approval.
  • Schedule time to think. There are many moving pieces involved with running a trial, so it is important to schedule time for thinking and reflection to ensure everything is operating according to plan. This time can be used for anything that’s necessary for continued success, such as establishing project scope, refining objectives, defining courses of action, and analyzing metrics.
  • Monitor and analyze your results. Throughout the project, continually monitor results and watch out for inefficiencies that arise early on. Additionally, after the trial is completed, it is important to take time to review the experience before moving on to the next project. This is a good time to solicit feedback from key stakeholders and open the floor for suggestions on how to improve processes for future trials.

What you study

We introduce you to the principles and practices of effective research project management. Research projects typically have three stages: the planning stage (where the methodological approach to be used is refined); the execution (or implementation) stage; and the dissemination stage. This award focuses primarily on the second and third stages in the life-cycle of the research project (the execution and dissemination stages). Topics covered include the basics of costing research projects (and the importance of staying within budget), how to engage in good ethical practice, some of the issues involved in the effective management of RCTs (including those relating to safety reporting) and the good management of sensitive data. Other areas covered include participant recruitment strategies, compliance with data protection law, the different elements and activities associated with dissemination of research findings and working with others.

How you learn

If you choose to attend lectures and seminars in person, a range of student-centred learning and teaching strategies are used to engage you and enable you to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to effectively manage a health-related research project. These strategies include small group work with fellow students. Distance-based students follow the same course of work as the attendance students, but the lecture and seminar content are available online through e-learning@ tees. You also participate in blog and wiki-based activities. Tutorial support is provided in face-to-face interaction, through use of email and other communication tools.

How you are assessed

You write an individual 4,000 word research report describing a research project action plan. You are presented with a choice of which type of research project you manage, but all students are given the task of managing a project that includes a number of stock elements.

Applicants should generally have at least 2:2 degree qualification in a relevant subject area or evidence of previous study at level 6 in a related subject area is needed. Level 7 IELTS or above for applicants who do not have English as a first language is needed.

...it's a very international focused programme which actually develops leaders in their field.

Dr Michael Burrow, Programme Convenor

The primary teaching interest is to provide postgraduate taught programmes (MSc, Diploma and Certificate) for both practising road engineers and Civil Engineering graduates that want to pursue a career in road management. 

The programme is taught by experts in their field with a wealth of international experience using modern teaching methods which mix traditional lectures, tutorials, small group activities, e-learning resources, projects, computer based activities and field work to foster learning. These are complimented by site visits and a series of lectures delivered by distinguished guest speakers from industry on pertinent and current topics. 

The programme is designed to provide current knowledge in management procedures for the planning, appraisal, design, construction and maintenance of road networks. The programme will also be relevant to conditions found in both the developed and the developing countries. A key feature of the programmes delivery is flexibility that allows primarily UK-based practicing road engineers to attend the programmes on a part-time basis.

Graduates are held in high regard and many of today’s senior executives in road authorities throughout the world are graduates of the programme.

Our excellent links with industry ensure that the vast majority of graduates find rewarding employment and amongst our recent graduates are those who have joined the World Bank, government road agencies, local authorities, international arms of consulting engineers, niche asset management specialists and road contractors as well as those who have gone on to PhD study.

Your MSc counts towards achieving Chartered Engineer accreditation.
