• Abstract:
  From June 2 to 4, 2015, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) hosted a peer exchange to address best practices for improving the usability of research reports. The goal of the peer exchange was to develop actionable recommendations for improving final report quality and effectiveness, considering opportunities related to roles and responsibilities, documentation, project management, communication, and partnerships. This report documents the discussions, outcomes, and recommendations of the peer exchange panel members. It includes brief summaries of each agency’s research program along with the agency’s best practices and challenges with research report implementation. Key outcomes resulting from brainstorming sessions during the peer exchange are also presented along with agency takeaways and next steps for ODOT.
