A large applied research study is a challenging exercise in project management and is often unpredictable because of its complexity. As the study evolves, researchers must meet the expectations of stakeholders while being responsive to the emergent reality that the research faces and partly uncovers. This article describes action research used as an umbrella process. We used action research as a meta-methodology--that is, a process that can subsume multiple subprocesses and under which these contradicting demands can be satisfied. In particular, two characteristics enable action research to do this. One is its cyclic process; the other is the nesting of its cycles. We illustrate this use of action research with examples from a long-term applied study of leadership in faith-based, not-for-profit organizations.
