Cheri Scott, Ph.D.

• Knowledge and mastery of advanced data capabilities using both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies.
• Knowledge of expert techniques and methods used to develop, analyze, evaluate, and measure effectiveness of human capital programs, and human resource systems.
• Subject matter expert in developing and designing databases for processing, optimization, post-processing, and interfaces for user interaction.

KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• Developed and executed research studies measuring the effectiveness of operations of human capital programs in order to forecast models and predict quantitative and comparative evaluations on quality of hires, employee attrition rates, and optimization of federal human resources systems.
• Evaluated project performance using advanced quantitative methods, leading to actionable insights for continuous improvement.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to identify root causes of inefficiencies and develop targeted solutions.
• Reduced costs by identifying areas of waste and implementing cost-saving measures based on data analysis findings.
• Supported strategic planning initiatives by providing detailed analyses of operational trends and projections.
• Assisted in driving organizational growth through the identification of new market opportunities via comprehensive research efforts.

Gathered detailed information regarding Tobacco-related websites and documented potential violations of CFR Part 1140, Tobacco Control Act. Researched additional FDA laws/regulations to determine if websites comply.

RESEARCH ANALYSIS:

• Performed descriptive coding to categorize data for further analysis and documented research findings in RTI systems.
• Conducted in-depth data analyses using traditional and advanced methods and accounted for and solve problems caused by faulty data or unreliable resources.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION:

• Maintained and developed relationships with research suppliers and internal stakeholders to ensure compliance with industry standards and new research tools and techniques.

Developed and initiated projects, including managing costs, schedule and performance. Managed and budgeted all clinical research laboratory studies which generated more than $550,000 in annual revenue for clinical laboratory research. Worked with internal and external research collaborators in developing cost models, cost estimating relationships, budget management, scope management, and risk management to mitigate risk of aging systems by implementing life cycle management strategies to keep pace with financial budgets and time constraints.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION:

• Built strong communication channels with internal stakeholders in various departments and ensured constant communication and collaboration among project and cross-functional teams.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT:

• Developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and study documentation, to ensure stakeholder access to research information. Advised management about implications and feasibility of proposals. Managed all phases of clinical research laboratory projects from conception to closure.
