Community of Practice

We see a group of people holding gears in their hands, symbolizing that by working together, the gears move and function well.

Our Mission Statement

The goal of the Community of Practice (CoP) network is to bring together project managers whose focus is to manage research projects at Boise State University. The Boise State CoP is a professional system dedicated to supporting project managers across campus, fostering networking, mentorship, collaboration, and ongoing training to enhance each member’s professional growth and strengthen support for campus-wide research initiatives.

Events

We see a diverse group of people laying in a circle with their heads together, symbolizing that networking brings people together.

Community of Practice events will provide a platform for sharing experiences, learning from one another, and promoting best practices in research project management. Collaboration strengthens Boise State’s research infrastructure and enhances understanding of its research ecosystem.

Objectives

  • Provide a platform for networking and collaboration among research project managers.
  • Share best practices, tools, and strategies for effective project management.
  • Address common challenges related to managing research grants, budgets, compliance, and team dynamics.
  • Enhance professional development through training sessions, workshops, and guest speakers.
  • Foster a sense of community and mutual support within the research management field at Boise State.

Let’s build each other up and discover the future together
