-- A new online self study course has been launched by Evaluation Works, which focuses on achieving research goals through critical project planning and effective time and resource management. Called Research Project Management: How to Achieve Your Goals on Time and Within Budget, it teaches participants how they can apply project management principles and skills to research projects and programmes in any research field.
More information can be found on the company website at: http://evaluationworks.co.uk/irpmprc.
Evaluation Works is run by Dr Ruth Belling, an independent researcher, evaluator, educator and writer with over 20 years’ experience in the research and evaluation industry. She focuses on health and social care, management, leadership and learning, and emphasises that she is dedicated to helping researchers succeed through her new series of online courses.
The Research Project Management course is described as ideal for an early career researcher or PhD student looking to improve their skills. The programme draws on Ruth’s 20+ years of experience to deliver a high quality series of modules that can equip participants with the knowledge they need to succeed.
Through taking the course, they will be able to identify the key skills that every research project manager needs, and understand which of those skills is in demand. In addition to this, participants will be able to explore the four core project management stages necessary for delivering research objectives on time within resource constraints.
A powerful set of tools and templates is available to all students, helping them to identify project stakeholders and assess the impact of potential risks to the research they want to carry out. Students will uncover first hand knowledge of how to overcome the common threats to any research project.
The site explains that whether someone is putting together a research project proposal, getting ready to implement a project plan, or working on their thesis or dissertation, figuring out how to budget, schedule tasks and manage their time more effectively can go a long way to ensuring the success of the project.
A full list of modules is available on the Evaluation Works website, where interested parties can also get in touch with any questions they have.
