Session 1 — March 24

FOUNDATION: Initiating & Planning

We start where most projects go wrong — the first 90 days. Award setup, stakeholder identification, building your team, and laying the project infrastructure that makes everything else work.

Session 2 — March 25

EXECUTING & MONITORING

How to keep your project on track once it's running. Workplanning, timeline management, scope monitoring, team coordination, and navigating the inevitable surprises that come with any research project.

Session 3 — March 26

CLOSEOUT, BEST PRACTICES & EXAMPLES

Finishing well matters as much as starting well. We close with grant closeout, lessons learned, and real-world examples and best practices from 18+ years of research project management experience.
