• 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.
