I am not sure exactly what you mean by navigation properties? Do you mean like a foreign key relationship? If so then try the following data annotation:

public class Project
{
    public int ProjectID { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("YourNavigationProperty")]
    public virtual UserManager { get; set; }
}

Update your EF Context, and see what happens?

UPDATE

public class Project
{
    public int ProjectID { get; set; }

    [Required]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [ForeignKey("ManagerId")]
    public ManagerModel UserManager { get; set; }
}

public class ManagerModel
{
    [Key]
    public int ManagerId { get; set; }

    public String ManagerName { get; set; }
}

See if that works?
