TCRP Announces New FY 2020 Synthesis Study Topics

Call for Panel Nominations

Nominations Due by June 30, 2020

 

TCRP announces 7 new synthesis study topics selected for the FY 2020 program. 

The new project numbers, titles, and preliminary scopes of work are available online at this link:  FY2020 Synthesis Topics

TCRP invites you to nominate yourself or other candidates to serve on the expert panels that oversee the content of these studies.  Nominees should be knowledgeable in the topic and willing to serve on a panel that will meet twice in a 10-month period and review materials developed by the consultant.  Panels for the new projects will meet in September through October. A decision about whether the meetings will be held in person or virtually will be made as we get closer to the date.  If the meetings will be held in-person, participants who chose not to or who are unable to travel will be able to participate remotely.

Nominations should be submitted online from the TRB website at the MyTRB portal at this link:   Online Panel Nominations

You will be asked to login to MyTRB.  If you do not already have an account, you will be asked to quickly create one using your email and a password.

Please submit nominations by June 30, 2020.  If you have any questions, please contact Mariela Garcia-Colberg, mgarciacolberg@nas.edu

Contacts to determine an individual’s interest in serving will be made from this office after we have matched available expertise with that required by the nature of the project. 

TCRP is also looking for consultants to perform as synthesis principal investigators. To formally express interest in authoring a topic, a two-page cover letter and professional resume or CV is required. Fixed fee is $45,000. Please submit letters of interest to the Letters of Interest Submission Portal.

A cover letter and resume or CV should provide a panel of topic experts with a concise idea of your knowledge of the topic and a list of work accomplished in the subject area. The deadline for letters of interest is August 27, 2020. Topic panel meetings are anticipated during September and October 2020. During the meetings, scopes of work will be finalized and principal investigators chosen.

We are grateful for your support of the TCRP Synthesis Program by providing nominees each year. With the nominees continuing to outnumber the available positions, we have been able to establish panels outstanding in their ability to play a critical role in the accomplishment of successful research.  Please know that if your nominee(s) is not selected, it is because there are several factors to be considered when forming well balanced and objective panels.  Although expertise is the primary factor, we also attempt a proper balance in terms of organization or agency types (e.g., transit systems, private consulting firms, universities, associations, geographic areas, gender, and ethnic diversity).
