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.
