Abstract:Regulations contained in 23 CFR Part 420 establish procedures under which the Federal ; Highway Administration (FHWA) may allow states increased flexibility for directing and ; controlling their program initiatives. These regulations set forth the minimum Federal ; requirements for carrying out Research activities using FHWA State Planning and ; Research (SP&R) funds. One of these conditions stipulates that the State Transportation ; Agency (STA) will conduct a peer exchange of their research management processes on a ; “periodic basis”. Each state is responsible for selecting and organizing the peer exchange ; team for its state exchange. Mississippi DOT hosted its initial Research Peer Exchange on ; June 15-18, 1998 in Jackson, Mississippi. This final report details the results of ; Mississippi’s second research peer exchange which was performed on September 24-26, ; 2002 in Jackson, Mississippi. ; The Peer Exchange concept as used herein denotes a process of convening a team ; composed of invited research managers from other agencies. The team, together with the ; host agency discusses and reviews their management processes. Information from the host ; agency as well as the agencies represented by team members is exchanged with the intent ; to gaining insights that have the potential to improve the research management process of ; both the host agency as well as those of the peer exchange team members.
