Abstract

Success of R&D Projects is very vital for organizational, industrial and National growth. The Scientists involved in the process of monitoring and evaluation process are usually chosen from the regular streams of basic sciences with minimal project management training or exposure. However, their role is very crucial. The current trends in global R&D pose significant challenge to the current practice of research project management and require continuous capacity building measurements. Shortened product / patent life cycles, emerging networked collaborations, open source R&D models and Intellectual Property frameworks require higher degree of project management skill sets. As an organisation develops, there is a need to evaluate and standardize the research project management training patterns. Brainstorming among the researchers and project management group would be an important step in designing an optimum capacity building model. In this context, a model is proposed based on the analysis of the existing capacity building systems in public funded R&D institutions, universities and offshore R&D Units in India for the creation of new generation of R&D project managers.
