Accelerating the Application of NCHRP Research Results

项目名称：	Accelerating the Application of NCHRP Research Results
摘要：	In an applied research program like the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), application of results is the most important measure of success. The NCHRP has been successful by this measure; results of NCHRP research are used by American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) committees and member departments, but there is a need to continually look for ways to do better. This project is to focus on improved methods of delivering research findings and promoting their use. The following activities are examples of areas that could benefit from greater attention. These activities are currently carried out by NCHRP staff, but the level of effort is limited by the demands of other duties associated with initiation and execution of research projects: a) validating research products (e.g., testing NCHRP-developed computer software before widespread distribution); b) using innovative dissemination media to supplement or even replace the written report; c) working with AASHTO committees and other code-writing groups to facilitate adoption of NCHRP recommendations; d) providing financial support for NCHRP researchers or other champions to assist potential users of NCHRP products; e) tracking and documenting applications of NCHRP research; and f) in general, taking advantage of unanticipated opportunities to further the delivery of research results and products.
