Research and Policy program manager
Research projects across Caltrans
As a researcher and policy program manager I streamlined research practices across the division at Caltrans.
Year: 2024-present
My Role: Research manager
​​​
​I collaborated cross functionally across divisions at Caltrans to define research statements, submit research proposals packages and managed research contracts.
​​​
Some of the contracts include the research with the universities such as Future of Mobility project with UC Davis, whose findings contributed to the California Transportation Plan (CTP). I collaborated with university researchers, coordinated meetings, and ensured the timely delivery of research outputs.
​​​
​​
As part of my internal research efforts, I worked on defining project metrics across the division. I collaborated with subject matter experts to develop a report analyzing project metrics for various division-wide initiatives.
​
Another research project involves work outside the Department of Transportation, such as providing feedback on policy briefs from the California Air Resources Board.
​
I have also coordinated to complete proposals for The Research and Deployment Advisory Committee at Caltrans.
​
Project management tools that I used: Smartsheet
