Abstract:

An effective research program within a transportation organization can be a valuable asset to accomplish the goals of the overall ; mission. Determining whether a research program is pursuing relevant research projects and obtaining results for the sponsoring ; organization has been a challenge in the past. ; This report will present a methodology for conducting an evaluation of a research program within a transportation agency. The methodology ; provides ten performance measures that are used to summarize the findings of the evaluation. These performance measures are ; quantifiable, meaning they are designed to place a score or value on the accomplishments of the research program which can then be used ; to make managerial decisions for the research program. ; The developed methodology was implemented for the Wyoming Department of Transportation’s Research Program to demonstrate how the ; methodology can be utilized. Specific recommendations and conclusions for the WYDOT Research Program are presented in the final ; chapter of this report. Final recommendations for implementing the methodology for any other agency looking to perform an evaluation of ; their research program are also presented in the final chapter of this report.
