Abstract:The overall theme for the peer exchange was
Transforming a State DOT Research Program. MDOT’s
Office of Research & Best Practices is in an exciting
time of transition, aiming to expand its research
coordinating role in the department and to refine its
program to address the department’s multi-modal
research needs. The exchange began with a
background presentation by Michigan and program
overviews from the visiting team members. The panel
addressed the following questions:
• How have you transformed your program and what
caused you to make this transformation?
• How have you initiated and developed a move in
a new direction?
• What obstacles did you face?
• What strategies did you find successful?
• What benefits do you see in managing your
program the way you do?
• What challenges do you still face?
• What is your shining star, your most noteworthy
program element?
The rest of the conference was structured around
four main topic areas: Needs Identification,
University Partnerships, Research Project Management,
and Measuring and Reporting Results. Refer to
Appendix B for list of questions addressed during
each of these sessions.
