NCHRP Solicitation for Panel Nominations

10 August 2021

NCHRP is soliciting panel members for various NCHRP projects. Please identify or nominate qualified individuals online, through this link. We encourage the nomination of members of historically underrepresented groups, including women, young professionals (age 35 and younger), and members of minority groups.

Panels for 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

1 April 2021

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 September 30, 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.
