She has led many large-scale studies and been responsible for the design, data collection, and analyses of program implementation for these studies.

Currently, Rosenberg is the project director for several U.S. Department of Labor projects.

Under Rosenberg’s direction, the team is providing evaluation technical assistance to pilots, conducting an implementation and systems study, and collecting and reporting pilots’ administrative data. She also is directing an evaluation of the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program and of State Apprenticeship Expansion grants. She was co-project director of the Workforce Investment Act Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs Gold Standard Evaluation; she contributed to the design and implementation of that evaluation, which studied the impact of the programs’ services.

In the education area, Rosenberg led the Mathematica team in a study of school turnaround practices for the U.S. Department of Education. She also contributed to the design and analysis for a study of after-school programs funded by the federal government. For the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, she directed a study team in the design of and data collection for case studies and a 50-state survey of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) diversion practices, which documented states’ strategies to assist or divert applicants for TANF.
