Abstract:Under 23 Code of Federal Regulations 420.209 (a)(7), as a condition for approval of FHWA planning and ; research funds for research activities, a State is required to conduct peer exchanges on a periodic basis. ; FHWA's Office of RD&T has administratively determined this to be every 3 years. ; The objective of the peer exchange program is to give State transportation agencies a means to improve ; the quality and effectiveness of their research management processes. A peer exchange is a practical and ; effective tool to foster excellence in research, development, and technology (RD&T) program ; management that provides an opportunity for panelists to share best practices and management ; innovations with each other. ; The basic approach is to invite an outside panel of managers to meet with the host agency to discuss and ; review its RD&T management process or a specific focus area. Information on the host agency’s policies ; and procedures is shared with panel members in advance of the meeting. During the peer exchange, panel ; members may meet with managers, staff, stakeholders, and customers to gain further insight into the host ; agency's program. The information gathered from the exchange is documented in a written report and ; presented to agency management.
