NRP Researcher Appreciation Week: Three Techniques in Project Management

UNC NRP Researcher Appreciation Week: Three Techniques in Project Management: setting up the project for success

Please join the UNC Network for Research Professionals for the third session in Researcher Appreciation Week as Allison Ali, Pre-award Research Administrator in the UNC Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases, presents on setting up your projects for success.

About the Speaker:

Allison Ali thinks in terms of tasks. Tie two tasks together; she has a project! She sharpened her skills in real estate project management when she worked for a boutique firm on the Upper East side of New York. She applied the frameworks of project management, self-taught at the time, to establish a workflow to meet deadlines and deliverables whether it was to a magazine editor at Town and Country or to the board of directors of a co-op on Park Avenue. One key takeaway is the importance of taking the time to develop and foster meaningful professional relationships with stakeholders and team members. Now nestled at UNC School of Medicine, Allison manages projects for physician-scientists, a different breed altogether. She is also a graduate student pursuing a degree in Masters of Applied Sciences where she just completed a semester in project management. She wishes to share her experience, knowledge, and techniques to help others manage their projects with skill and success.
