Research Project Management Training for Graduate Students and Postdocs (EN)
Tuesday, September 29, 2026 / 1 pm - 2 pm (EST) / online
Back by popular demand, CAGS is pleased to offer a second presentation of this workshop for graduate students, postdocs, and early career researchers to develop their research project management skills and advance the progress of their thesis or dissertation.
This 90-minute webinar, developed by Dr. P. Alison Paprica, PhD, PMP, explains how to use three one-page project management tools to plan and manage research:
- The work breakdown structure (WBS): a one-page tool to establish a common high-level understanding of research scope expressed in terms of deliverables.
- The deliverable-based Gantt chart: a one-page tool to describe when and how the deliverables of the research will come together.
- The deliverable-based tracking sheet: a one-page tool to identify emerging risks and drive progress at a more granular level during the implementation phase of the research.
Tickets are available to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other interested parties from CAGS member institutions, and will be sold until the capacity of the workshop has been reached. The workshop will not be recorded.
Registration closes September 25, 2026
