National Cooperative Highway Research Program
A forum for coordinated and collaborative research, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) addresses issues integral to the state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and transportation professionals at all levels of government and the private sector. The NCHRP provides practical, ready-to-implement solutions to pressing problems facing the industry.
The NCHRP is administered by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and sponsored by the member departments (i.e., individual state departments of transportation) of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Individual projects are conducted by contractors with oversight provided by volunteer panels of expert stakeholders.
NCHRP announces its FY 2015 projects; requests for proposals are expected to be released starting in August 2014.
The NCHRP Synthesis program is seeking consultants for FY 2014 Synthesis topics. Please note that the deadline for receipt of consultant letters of interest is close of business, Friday, August 15, 2014.

Information on all projects initiated under the NCHRP from its inception in 1962 through 1988 is included in NCHRP Web Document 7: Special Edition of Summary of Progress through 1988.
Unfunded CRP problem statements will be posted periodically as each program's fiscal year project selection is made.
Among the variety of methods the National Cooperative Highway Research Program uses to showcase the value of NCHRP research is a series of success stories titled Impacts on Practice. These brief case studies highlight how transportation agencies have put critical NCHRP research results to use nationwide in the following areas:
