ACRP Seeking Synthesis Topics
Updated: 18 August 2021
The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) is seeking potential synthesis topics for the Fiscal Year 2022 ACRP Synthesis Program. Syntheses are state-of-the-practice reports prepared by contractors. Their findings are based on a review of literature and input from airports. While syntheses do not contain new research or policy recommendation, they do identify research gaps. They are most valuable when they are focused on issues common to many organizations.
These are not proposals to conduct the research, but ideas that are used to identify potential synthesis topics only. ACRP’s IdeaHub, an online tool, will be used to gather research ideas: https://ideahub.trb.org/. To sign in, use your MyACRP login information.
Thank you for your consideration. Your willingness to participate in the identification of relevant airport research topics is a key element of a successful, industry-driven ACRP. Synthesis ideas must be submitted by Monday, September 27, 2021.
New! Explore Potential Teaming Opportunities!
Updated: 10 August 2021
The Transportation Research Board recognizes that an inclusive and diverse environment enhances innovation and creativity in all areas. Research contractors are likely to be most successful and produce results relevant to all users when they bring diverse perspectives and experiences to their teams and research plans. To help potential proposers develop teams that provide the expertise and diversity needed to conduct ACRP research, we’ve launched the ACRP Project Teaming Opportunities campaign.
Login to IdeaHub and select “ACRP Project Teaming Opportunities” to see our new projects. If you can provide a needed expertise or diversity, or if you are looking for a particular expertise or diversity, click on the project and leave a comment and provide contact information.

ACRP's Novel Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) Response
Updated: 29 June 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 January 4, 2021. Business is continuing as usual, and we have worked out procedures to replace most of our paper-based correspondence with electronic distribution. Pending RFPs have been extended for four weeks and will be submitted electronically. There may be a few delays as we all get familiar with the new working environment, and your patience is appreciated. Our staff thanks all of our sponsors, volunteers, and contractors who make this program work. For more information, please contact Chris Hedges (Director, CRP) at chedges@nas.edu.
