Abstract:The objective of the peer exchange programis to give State Departments of Transportation a means
to improve the quality and effectiveness of their researchmanagement processes. The Peer exchange
provides an opportunity for a State to examine its research program, particularly relative to its
management. It is a practical and effective tool to foster excellence in research, development, and
technology (RD&T) program management. Peer exchange provides an opportunity for panelists to
share good practices and innovations with each other.
The basic approach is to invite an outside panel of managers to meet with the host agency to discuss
and review its RD&T management process or a specific focus area. Information on the host
agencys policies and procedures is shared with panel members in advance of the peer exchange.
During the peer exchange, panel members may meet with managers, staff, stakeholders, and
customers to gain further insight into the host State's program. The information gathered from the
exchange is documented in a written report and presented to agency management.
Emphasis areas for this research peer exchange are:
Focus Point 1: Performance Measures;
Focus Point 2: Technology Transfer.
