The International Network of Research Project Managers (INRPM) is a new global community dedicated to strengthening research project management practice worldwide – and we’re now looking for founding members for our Standing Committees.

We are recruiting volunteers to join our five Standing Committees:
• Communications & Community
• Education & Events
• Knowledge
• Tools
• Recognition

These committees will shape what INRPM does, how it grows, and what it stands for. This is a rare opportunity to help build something from the ground up – connecting with RPM colleagues across institutions and countries, contributing your expertise, and helping define research project management as a recognised profession.

Time commitment
• Committee members: ~3–5 hours/month (excluding meetings)
• Committee leads: ~5–10 hours/month

Interested in joining?
Apply via this link before 19 May 2026:

Visit the INRPM website
You can find more information about INRPM, a video archive, and a small but growing library of RPM‑related resources (templates, links, etc.) on our website:
https://internationalrpm.org/

As part of our effort to create a shared resource library for research project managers, we invite contributions from the community. If you have tools, templates, examples, or links others may find useful, please consider sharing them with us.

Help us grow the INRPM community
If you think this could be relevant for colleagues or your wider network, we would be very grateful if you:
• share this opportunity with RPMs and research support colleagues at your institution and beyond
• invite colleagues to follow and engage with INRPM on LinkedIn
• share RPM‑relevant events, courses, resources, and news with us, so we can help surface them to the community

We want INRPM to be a place where research project managers can both find and contribute opportunities, not just receive information.

If you’re no longer interested in hearing about INRPM, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of this email.
