Program Management

CDME takes away the administrative burden of managing translational research projects. Assistance is given on all aspects of contract management including costing, scheduling, delivery and closeout. Projects are managed to industry standards and best practices for new product introduction.

The Program Management Division ensures once a project has been funded, students are actively involved with the management of the project and PMP principles are taught. The team is involved from pre-planning of a project, to project execution, to post-project feedback and reporting. CDME defines project ground rules, creates data management plans, tracks costs and executes a program plan to keep projects on schedule and on budget.

The team has decades of combined project management experience in industry settings. At CDME, they have managed 70+ projects worth over $30 million. Students in the division are mentored by these professionals to ensure they are ready to enter the workforce post-graduation.
