• Abstract:
  Peer exchanges for state department of transportation (DOT) research programs originated with ; the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). That federal legislation ; required the states to conduct periodic peer exchanges to foster excellence in research program ; management. State DOTs have found the peer exchange to be an excellent forum for the open ; exchange of ideas, knowledge, and brainstorming. Many states have now conducted two or three ; peer exchanges, and the value and benefits of the program have been significant. ; The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) of the Transportation Research ; Board (TRB) is not required to conduct a peer exchange, but NCHRP management recognize the ; peer exchange format as an excellent tool to explore new ways of improving the efficiency and ; effectiveness of the program. ; The first NCHRP peer exchange, held in March 2002, was a general review of the full research ; program. This report documents the results of NCHRP’s second peer exchange, held September ; 23-25, 2008 (refer to Appendix A for details of the agenda). The 2008 event focused on four ; specific themes: ; 1. Doing the Right Research ; 2. Dissemination and Implementation ; 3. Keeping on Track ; 4. Workforce Development ; In preparation for the peer exchange, team members (refer to Appendix B for contact ; information for the participants) were sent a discussion paper on each of the four theme areas for ; review. (These discussion papers constitute Appendix C). The report includes general ; observations of the peer exchange team, as well as specific items for consideration by the ; NCHRP.
