Management elements of Conception and Development of Scientific Research Projects | Chapter 5 | Engineering Research: Perspectives on Recent Advances Vol. 10

 

A project is considered successful when the expected outcomes meet the predetermined standards, are sustainable, are achieved within the stipulated time and come under the umbrella of the preliminary budget. The concept of a scientific research project offer must be based on the analysis of the four types of resources: the human resources, the financial resources, the material resources and the informational resources. The aim of this study is to provide a structured framework for the conception and development of scientific research projects.

 

The feasibility study, although very complex, is of great importance for the success and viability of the project. An algorithm was developed, comprising several items, in a non-fortuitous order: formulation of the theme, resources analysis, feasibility study, offer formulation, project drawing, project implementation, project evaluation, and dissemination. Several definitions of a scientific research project are critically analysed in this study. The key functions of a scientific research include identifying the issue to be addressed, defining the objectives to be achieved, outlining the activities to be undertaken to achieve the objectives, specifying the revenue (or resources) needed for the deployment activities, identifying and specifying the responsibilities of the different organizations involved in implementation of the project, allowing technical and administrative reviews of the project, the basis for monitoring and evaluating the project that can be done either during the project’s implementation, or after the project has been completed. Additionally, specific concepts are formulated regarding sustainability: "a development program is sustainable when it is able to provide an appropriate level of benefits over a longer period of time after the financial, managerial and technical assistance from the external donor ended", or, "for most projects sustainability is a default, and donors and recipients wait and take responsibility that certain aspects of the activity will continue. Failure to make explicit sustainability as part of the project's training and implementation process may lead to a lack of benefit". Finally, the study concludes that scientific management specific to scientific research projects is a very important area. The proper concept and realisation of a project, along with the correct application of the management concepts, ensures the success of the project.
