PROPOSE NEW TOPICS FOR THE 2020 NCHRP SYNTHESIS PROGRAM

You are invited to submit a new NCHRP Synthesis topic. Submissions are due by February 17, 2020. Click on the link below to create and submit a topic.
NOTE: The submission web portal will remain open until COB February 18, 2020.


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.

For further information on the NCHRP synthesis program and processes, please see the Overview section of this Web site. Click on the following links to view NCHRP Synthesis topics currently under study or completed.
