Praise for Research Project Management and Leadership: A Handbook for Everyone
by Alison Paprica, Principal and Founder of RPM (University of Toronto Press, 2024)
“Research Project Management and Leadership is designed to meet the needs of a
broad range of researchers – investigators, collaborators, graduate students and
postdocs, and research management staff. This handbook is informed by P. Alison’s
Paprica’s own extensive experience in government, academic, and allied settings, and
augmented substantially by verbatim narratives drawn from interviews with colleagues in
various research-related sectors and settings.”
Martin Taylor, Past Executive Director,
Canadian Research Data Centre Network
“P. Alison Paprica has crystalized the essentials of good project management
into practical, digestible training with ready-to-use tools that are easily
incorporated into work to improve deliverable-based project planning and
management. I have recommended her project management training to
colleagues, trainees, and students, and the shared consensus is that the
training is incredibly valuable and yields tangible results.”
Meghan McMahon, Assistant Professor,
Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, University of
Toronto
“P. Alison Paprica has crafted a practical rather than academic treatment of research
project management, with useful information, pragmatic tools and advice.”
Bert van den Berg, Innovation Policy Consultant
former Director of the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada
“This practical handbook on project management is essential reading for
anyone involved in the research enterprise who aspires to a leadership
position. The interviews with research leaders provide valuable guidance and
keen insights into lessons learned.”
Reinhart Reithmeier, Professor Emeritus
University of Toronto
