NEW TOPIC SUBMISSION WEB PORTAL

New topics for 2020 will be selected and posted on this website in May 2020.

A synthesis study documents current practice for specific highway topics. The following factors are considered in the selection of a synthesis topic:

• The objective of the scope of work is to document current highway practice in state departments of transportation (DOTs);
• The synthesis documents current practice not best practice; it is not a research project or a guidebook; 
• The topic addresses an area of practice that is widespread and of general interest to state DOTs; and
• The topic should be timely and critical for expediting delivery, improving the quality, or lowering the cost of highway programs.
