  8. Airport Cooperative Research Program • Our Research Process: • A Project Panel is formed. • The Panel is given the original problem statement and asked to develop a scope of work. • Proposals are solicited. • The Panel reviews all proposals and selects the best research proposal for the project. • As the contractor follows the scope developed by the Panel, the Panel oversees progress through reports, interim deliverables, teleconferences, and meetings. • The Panel is first to receive the draft report and provides comments to improve its value to the industry.

  9. Airport Cooperative Research Program • 4 ways to become involved: • Submit a research idea, also called a Problem Statement. • Volunteer to participate on a project panel. We reimburse for travel. • Prepare a proposal to conduct research. • Use our research results. www.TRB.org/ACRP
