Projects, just like anything in life, don’t always go to plan. If, or when, something goes wrong, or something unexpected happens with your project, you are likely going to have to alter your scope, outcome or possibly even resources to still achieve an effective outcome for your project and make the intended impact.

The first step in risk planning and management is identifying the risks.

There are several different types of resources when it comes to R&D projects, and it is important to know what they are, how you can access them, when you can access them and how to use them most efficiently without wasting them.

A proposal is usually used for requesting funding to do research.

Having ideas is a great thing and makes up the foundation of scientific research.

Scientific experiments need to be replicable, otherwise the credibility of any results you get may become questionable if no one else can demonstrate what you did.

In everyday life, work, and science projects, people generally don’t like to talk about risk. There is a perception that talking about risk will stop something from happening (e.g. a project).
