• Expanded the submission of +$1 million proposals to federal agencies by 300%.• Catalyzed $20 million in current proposals under development for federal agencies, private foundations, and corporations.• Forged new partnerships between faculty in SPIA and those in the hard sciences to pursue $6 million in external funding for advances in Artificial Intelligence in agriculture through USDA and NSF.• Designed and implemented a funding strategy for soliciting $5 million in private philanthropic support to launch a new professional master’s degree in Grady College.• Optimized the efficiency of pre and post-award management, leveraging cloud-based project management tools (e.g., Trello, Wrike, JIRA, Confluence) to optimize faculty-contract management communications and compliance — revitalized faculty confidence in UGA Research Administration and willingness to submit large research grants.• Spearheaded a proposal to the Provost’s office to fund a tenure-track cluster hire in artificial intelligence and data use for policymaking (in collaboration with SPIA and the Artificial Intelligence Institute).• Identified and developed research programs in SPIA and Grady with commercial potential and military applications. Pioneered relationships with the directors of military and industry partnerships at UGA Research to capture these advances for future intellectual property.• Organized contract negotiations between the SPIA Survey Research Center, private industry sponsors, and the UGA Research legal team.

• Organized and executed a comprehensive evaluation of $8 million in USDA nutrition education programming managed by UGA Cooperative Extension to address persistently low employee morale and customer satisfaction. Catalyzed a policy change that enabled employees tocustomize nutrition programming to local needs, significantly increasing customer satisfaction.• Devised the UGA Extension strategy for the first economic valuation of extension programming in all the major program areas (agriculture and natural resources, family and consumer sciences, 4-H). The approach is currently being used to revise the existing $500 million estimate to account for primary and secondary impacts both within the state and across the country.• Authored $8 million in budgets, proposal descriptions, and other ancillary documents on federal proposals. Of these proposals, UGA won $1.996 million as part of the National Science Foundation Future of Work program.• Evaluated programming to identify new opportunities for Extension to increase economic output in the Georgia agricultural sector and catalyze the adoption of new technologies developed by UGA scientists and engineers.
