ANNOUNCEMENTS
ACRP SEEKING PANEL NOMINATIONS FOR FY2020 PROGRAM YEAR.
The ACRP Oversight Committee selected more than 20 research projects for
our FY2020 program year. A list of those projects, as well as brief
descriptions, can be viewed online.
We are now seeking nominations for serving on project panels. These
panels will develop requests for proposals, select contractors, and
review draft deliverables prepared by the contractors. Nominations,
including self-nominations, may be submitted through MyACRP until September 23, 2019.
ACRP SEEKING LEGAL TOPICS
The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) is seeking study topics for the FY 2020 ACRP Legal Studies Program. The ACRP Legal Research Program is a project within the ACRP that addresses issues associated with airport-related law and produces a series of ACRP Legal Research Digests intended to provide attorneys practicing airport law, and other appropriate airport professionals, with authoritative, well-researched, specific information that is limited in scope. Ideas for study topics may be submitted by anyone at any time. However, the closing date for consideration of ideas for study topics in FY 2020 is September 10, 2018 Legal topics may be submitted electronically to http://www.trb.org/acrp/acrplegalstudiesresearchtopicsubmission.aspx
ACRP SEEKING SYNTHESIS TOPICS
We are looking for 2020 Synthesis Topics. Please go to IdeaHub and submit a Topic idea for consideration. We are accepting new ideas through September 20th. No idea is too small! For additional information click here.
THANK YOU!
ACRP received 77 problem statements for FY2020 funding consideration, so a big, “Thank you!” to everyone who participated in the process—from coming up with research ideas, to commenting and voting on ideas, and, finally, to submitting fully-developed problem statements. We are now in the review process in which we collect industry feedback on the problem statements and provide that to our oversight committee. After the oversight committee meets in late July, you’ll then have an opportunity to nominate yourself for a project panel and to respond to RFPs in the fall. And, just because the deadline to submit problem statements has passed for FY2020, doesn’t mean you can’t continue to add research ideas, so continue to visit IdeaHub through the spring and summer!
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.
