VISIT IDEAHUB!
Fall is a great time to visit ACRP’s IdeaHub, our online platform for adding, commenting, and developing research ideas. Visit IdeaHub at: https://ideahub.trb.org. We’d love to hear from you!
MyACRP can provide you with customized access to various aspects of the Airport Cooperative Research Program. In exchange for telling us a little about yourself we can match content to your needs, help you find projects or publications that may interest you, and help you get more involved in the program. Register into MyACRP today! We welcome your thoughts and ideas to help us refine future iterations of MyACRP.
To encourage easier, broader, and more effective participation, ACRP created the IdeaHub, a web-based tool. This user-friendly site is an activity center for all things related to potential research projects for ACRP; what we call "problem statements". IdeaHub makes collaboration easier for problem statement development. After registering, anyone can submit an idea, help develop the idea into a quality problem statement, monitor its progress from submission through review, and connect with experts who help refine statements to strengthen the case for industry relevance to justify funding. This streamlined process also gives unfunded statements an opportunity to be reconsidered for future refinement and funding, since all statements and AOC guidance remain in the system.
ACRP’s Insight Events bring airport industry leaders, subject matter experts, and researchers together to discuss emerging topics of significance to airport operators. These in-depth, face-to-face gatherings are designed to promote communication and collaboration, foster innovation, and help identify areas of future interest and research.
Impacts on Practice
ACRP’s Impacts on Practice series is designed to provide examples of how airport industry practitioners are using ACRP research results to assist them in their work. The goal of the Airport Cooperative Research Program is to provide well-researched, useful publications that can contribute to the growth and development of the nation's airport industry. ACRP publications can help improve airport administrative practices, develop safer and more effective operational techniques, and increase performance efficiency.
The Transportation Research Board's (TRB’s) ACRP webinars feature the dissemination of results of ACRP research projects and topics of interest to airport practitioners. Please join senior airport researchers as they present cutting-edge solutions to issues facing airports. ACRP webinars are offered FREE of charge with Continuing Education Units offered by TRB and provided by the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE).
WebResources
WebResources is an online product line that includes electronic resources, topical libraries, training videos, and alternative format research reports. ACRP provides contractors with guidance on the creation of different types of web pages using available customizable templates and maintenance during resource development. The WebResources platform supports and encourages utilization of Google Search Appliance (GSA) features, as well as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and User Experience (UX) best practices.
