NCHRP FY 2022 Program Announcement and Solicitation for Panel Nominations

18 May 2021

Panel Nominations Due by June 30, 2021

On April 14-15, 2021, the AASHTO Special Committee on Research and Innovation (R&I) formulated NCHRP's FY 2022 Program. NCHRP is soliciting panel members for these FY 2022 NCHRP projects.

Please identify or nominate qualified individuals online, through this link, by June 30, 2021. We encourage the nomination of members of historically underrepresented groups, including women, young professionals (age 35 and younger), and members of minority groups.

FHWA employees will receive an e-mail from Ms. Jean Landolt on the assignment of FHWA liaisons. As a reminder, FHWA employees may serve as liaisons to NCHRP panels but not as members.

Panels for the new projects are scheduled to meet beginning in August through October. In many cases, three meetings are held in the life of a project, and these normally occur in Washington, D.C., but this year—given uncertainty about or inability to travel—panel meetings may be held virtually through the end of 2021..

NCHRP's Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Response

16 November 2020

Following the direction of our parent organization the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the majority of our staff are working from home, until at least June 1, 2021. Business is continuing as usual, and our staff thanks all of our sponsors, volunteers, and contractors who make this program work.

Panels for new NCHRP projects are scheduled to meet beginning in August. In many cases, three meetings are held in the life of a project, and these normally occur in Washington, D.C., but this year—given physical distancing recommendations and uncertainty about or inability to travel—most meetings will be held virtually.
