NATIONAL COOPERATIVE HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM
SUMMARY OF PROGRESS
THROUGH 1988
INTRODUCTION
The National Cooperative Highway Research Program
(NCHRP) was established in 1962 to provide a continuing
program of highway research. It is sponsored by member
departments of the American Association of State High-
way and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in coop-
eration with the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), U.S. Department of Transportation, and is car-
ried out under a three-way agreement among these agen-
cies and the National Academy of Sciences. AASHTO
annually proposes specific research problems for inclusion
in the NCHRP fiscal year activities. At least two-thirds
of the member departments must approve the research
problems and agree to their financial support before they
can be brought into the Program. Following balloting by
the member departments, the approved problems are
referred to the Academy, where they are reviewed to
determine their acceptability to the Academy for admin-
istration by the Transportation Research Board. Each
State annually contracts with the Academy to commit a
portion of its Federal-aid highway planning research
(HPR) funds. These funds presently make available a
cooperative pool of about $8.0 million for NCHRP each
year.
Each research project in the program is assigned to a
panel made up of persons knowledgeable in the particular
problem area. The panel analyzes the problem, outlines
the particular project and its objectives, and then prepares
a research project statement by which proposals are so-
licited from qualified research agencies. The panels review
the proposals, recommend contract awards, and provide
counsel to the NCHRP staff responsible for surveillance
of work under the research contracts. Finally, they review
final reports for acceptability and for accomplishment of
the approved research plan. There are presently some 71 1
members on these panels coming from 45 States, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, and New
Zealand.
A professional staff is assigned to NCHRP by the
Board. Projects engineers with training and experience in
the many research areas encompassed by the Program
are responsible for administrative and technical surveil-
lance of the contracts. If necessary, frequent meetings
involving the staff, panel, and agency personnel are held
to review project progress and provide guidance for on-
going work.
The research findings are published in either of two
regular NCHRP report series or as a Research Results
Digest. Each state highway administrator receives a copy
immediately on publication, and as many as 6,000 copies
are issued through the Transportation Research Board's
Publication's Office.
Twice each year, detailed progress reports are submit-
ted by the NCHRP to the sponsors to provide them with
current information on the specifics of technical progress
of the projects, as well as the specifics of administrative
matters relating to Program operation. These reports are
supplemented by publication of an annual summary of
progress that is made available at the end of each year
to both the sponsors and the public at large.
HOW NCHRP PROGRAMS ARE FORMULATED
NCHRP programs are initiated on an annual basis, and
there are many steps between initiation and the time that
the final reports are published. Each fiscal year's program
must start with the identification of critical problems by:
state highway and transportation departments, AASHTO
Committees, and the Federal Highway Administration.
The many problems (usually for more than 150)
received from these sources each year are first screened
to determine:
. If the proposed problem represents an immediate
research need and is of interest to many states.
. If it can be handled effectively under a cooperative
program.
. If similar efforts are already under way, or if satis-
factory answers are already available. In these respects,
a search is made of the relevant literature stored in the
Board's automated Highway Research Information Ser-
v~ce.
. The probability of success.
The technical merits of the problems that survive this
initial screening (usually about 50 percent) are then eval-
uated in depth by the AASHTO Standing Committee on

Research. Final priorities are determined each year at a
meeting to formulate research programs for the NCHRP.
After the program is approved, by AASHTO, it is
referred to TRB for execution.
PROGRAMS RECEIVED TO DATE
Through most of NCHRP's history, each year's pro-
gram generally has consisted of from 7 to 10 new prob-
lems, each with funding usually ranging between $ 150,000
and $300,000 and a like number of continuations of proj-
ects funded in earlier years. Measured against the large
number of research needs, as evidenced by the list that
has ranged as high as 188 problems submitted for eval-
uation in a single year, the funds made available to the
NCHRP each year have been far too limited. For about
15 years, annual funding for the NCHRP remained nearly
constant at just below $5 million, while, during this pe-
riod, the purchasing power of the research dollar was
severely reduced by inflation. This decline was reversed
with enactment of the Surface Transportation Assistance
Act of 1982 which resulted in an approximately 50 percent
funding increase for NCHRP. The federal-aid highway
legislation enacted in 1987 had the effect of reducing
NCHRP funding by 18 percent to a level of about $6.8
million. In February 1988, AASHTO approved a new
formula for NCHRP contributions (5.5% of Federal-Aid
Highway Planning and Research apportionments) to re-
store NCHRP funding to approximately $8.3 million
starting in fiscal year 1989.
In 1988 AASHTO referred the twenty-seventh program
(FY '89) of research problems. From all programs

through FY '89, 541 research contracts have resulted,
totaling some $86.5 million. The subject matter of the
projects ranges across the full spectrum of concern within
the highway industry and evidences the sponsor's im-
mediate interest in acquiring answers at an early date to
the many acute problems facing administrators and en-
gineers. The twenty-eighth program (FY '90) was for-
mulated in September 1988 by the Standing Committee
on Research. Proposals will be solicited in March 1989.
AASHTO's initial steps toward development of the
twenty-ninth research program (FY '91) were taken in
October 1989.
FINANCING THE PROGRAM
Each year, each State contracts with the National
Academy of Sciences to support the Program. The agree-
ment commits the State to 572 percent of its 172 percent
federal-aid highway planning and research (HPR) funds.
From these contributions a cooperative pool of about $8.3
million is presently made available each year for
NCHRP's administrative and contract research opera-
tions. Funds are scheduled to become available such that
research can begin near the end of each year; for example,
projects in the FY '89 program were scheduled to begin
in December 1988.

Figure 1 and are given related NCHRP project numbers.
In terms of generalized subject areas, the distribution of
all projects through FY 1989 is shown in Table 1.
Each project is assigned to a panel consisting of out-
standing individuals very knowledgeable in the project
area who are looked to for technical guidance and counsel
throughout the research and reporting phases. A broad
search is made for these individuals, and the Board usually
receives about four to five times as many nominees as can
be used in the available panel positions. The panels are
in existence for the life of their projects. Members do not
act as consultants or advisors to project investigators; they
may not submit proposals for research. All members serve
without compensation, and their total yearly contribution
to the Program adds up to thousands of man-days. The
panel members are drawn from all walks of professional
life, and, as shown in Table 2, heavy dependence is placed
on the states for providing members. The perspective of
state people in defining the research needed to solve op-
erational problems is most important if projects that are
both practical and feasible within the limits of available
funds are to be structured.
The duties and responsibilities of project panels include:
. Defining the scope of problems assigned by
AASHTO and drafting project statements requesting pro-
posals for studies.
. Evaluating proposals and making recommendations
regarding selection of research agencies.
. Monitoring research progress.
. Providing guidance regarding technical aspects of the
research.
. Reviewing and evaluating project reports as to the
accomplishment of objectives and suitability for publi-
cation.
. Making recommendations as to whether or not stud- All
ies should be continued.
HOW THE PROJECTS ARE PLACED UNDER
CONTRACT
It is important to note that the NCHRP is not in the
business of awarding grants for basic research. Rather,
the Program calls for contract research with specific ob-
jectives that, if achieved, will result in solutions that are
practical and readily usable. As the NCHRP gets each
year's program under way, the project panels meet to
write research project statements based on the research
problems referred by AASHTO.
These statements are then sent automatically to a mail-
ing list of some 3,000 research agencies ranging from
individuals to large corporations. Anyone may be added
to this list by request addressed to the Director, Coop-
erative Research Programs at TRB. Because NCHRP
operates on a fixed-schedule, proposals must be submitted
according to fixed deadlines.
Contracts have been let to agencies headquartered in
more than 25 States, the District of Columbia, and one
foreign country. The types of agencies selected to conduct
NCHRP research are listed in Table 3. The opportunity
to propose is open to anyone possessing extensive, dem-
onstrated capability and experience in the problem area.
Because the projects call for practical remedies to pressing
operational problems, it is expected that only the highest
level of agency capability will be applied in meeting the
commitments of the proposal- capability cannot be de-
veloped at project expense. Consonant with the goal of
providing practical, readily usable solutions to pressing
problems, time and experience have led to the develop-
ment of fairly stringent specifications for proposals and
agency attributes that are acceptable to the mission-ori-
ented nature of the NCHRP. Proposals must comply with
the format in the current brochure, Information and In-
structions for Preparing Proposals.

The staff and panel members evaluate all proposals in
a uniform manner, with primary consideration given to:
. The understanding of the problem and the merit of
the research plan and approach.
. The experiment design and the promise of fulfilling
the objectives of the project statement.
. The qualifications of the principal investigator and
other members of the research team.
. The adequacy of the facilities.
The proposed budget is not one of the primary factors
because the funds available for reseach are announced in
the project statement. The budget does not enter the
evaluation process leading to agency selection, except
when specific items are reviewed to better determine man
power allocations and distribution of resources. When the
proposed cost exceeds the funds stated to be available,
the proposal is rejected on receipt.

available each year to the Program are earmarked in their ect's status to learn if the research is being pursued in
entirety for research problems specified by the sponsor
AASHTO.
From the standpoint of AASHTO's interests, needs,
and capital investments, it is important to understand
that a contract is not signed with the selected agency until
the staff and project panel are satisfied that the proposed
scope of work provides the best probability for success
in meeting AASHTO's needs. In the period between
agency selection and contract execution, a concerted effort
is made to resolve questions and clarify matters of tech-
nical substance emanating from the selection process. This
action usually results in an addendum to the research
plan in the agency's approved proposal; therefore, both
the proposal and the addendum are incorporated in the
contract as the binding scope of work. Furthermore, soon
after contract execution, the agency is required to submit
a Working Plan that is intended to be an amplified version
of the research plan. It is against this document that
progress of the project is monitored by the staff and proj-
ect panel.
The policy of the NCHRP is to provide a debriefing
to unsuccessful proposers to indicate the technical areas
in which their proposals were judged weak and deficient
and how the weaknesses or deficiencies were factors in
their not having been selected.
The projects included in the 27 fiscal year programs
conducted to date are listed in Table 4.
The Academy's research contract is either:
. Cost-Reimbursement
. Cost-Reimbursement Plus Fixed Fee
. Fixed Price
The Academy decides, in agreement with the agency,
which type of contract will be used in each case.

s
line with the approved research plan, and they provide
guidance in all technical and administrative matters. They
provide liaison in whatever manner is required to keep
their project panels abreast of progress and to acquire
panel guidance and counsel in technical matters, partic-
ularly as regards the relationships between research ob-
jectives and the needs of the practicing engineer. Because
the agency's proposal is incorporated in its entirety in the
contract, the agency's approved budget is among the items
subject to the terms of the agreement. The principal in-
vestigator has flexibility in managing the budget up to
the point of not materially departing from the approved
research plan or exceeding the contract's maximum al-
lowable cost. Major changes to account for promising
new leads or unproductive lines of study must be approved
in advance by the staff and project panel and are autho-
rized through a contract amendment. Agency invoices
are checked monthly by staff for deviations from the-
approved budget. Based on all surveillance activities, staff
prepares its own progress reports, which are sent to the
sponsors to provide a current awareness of ongoing work.
Finally, the staff and panels evaluate the completed re-
search to determine the degree of technical compliance
with the contract so that recommendations for contract
close-out can be made.
A point heavily stressed with the research agencies at
the time of the first surveillance visit is that they must
orient their thinking toward presentation of their research
results in a form that is directly usable by practicing
engineers. Further, to enable an easy determination of
the usefulness of the results to practice, each final report
includes a "Summary of Findings" and a chapter on
"Interpretation, Appraisal, and Application of Results."
The detailed research techniques and analyses of interest
primarily to researchers are offered in appendixes. Such
specification of the style and organization of reports
guides the researcher in presenting results so that maxi-
mum use by the sponsors may be obtained.
NCHRP publications consist of:
. Project reports in the regular NCHRP Report series.
. Reports in the NCHRP Synthesis of Highway Prac-
tice series.
. Annual summary of progress through December 31.
. NCHRP Research Results Digests.
. NCHRP Legal Research Digests.
. Semiannual progress reports.
The semiannual progress reports are issued only to the
various program participants. The other publications are
distributed more widely through the NCHRP and
through the Board's selective distribution process; the
print order for reports in the formal NCHRP series ranges
from 3,500 to 7,000 copies. In addition to AASHTO and
the Chief Administrative Officers, copies automatically
go to:
. Individual TRB members who have selected publi-
cations in the particular subject area of the report.
. About 100 libraries.
. Transportation Research Board representatives in
the state highway and transportation departments.
. Educational institutions.
. Liaison representatives.
. Appropriate panels and committees.
News releases announcing the publication of NCHRP
reports are sent to appropriate trade publications and
other news media. For each report, the NCHRP staff
writes a foreword that identifies the fields of specialty of
those individuals having most interest in the results. It
also suggests how the results fit into present knowledge
and practice. Furthermore, the Board's Technical Activ-
ities Staff follows the progress of the work and is therefore
able to discuss the potential application of research results
during their periodic visits to State highway and trans-
portation departments. All published reports are offered
for sale through the Board's Publications Office and are
also entered in the National Technical Information Ser-
vice (NTIS). All unpublished reports are placed on mi-
crofiche for ready availability to interested parties.
SYSTEMATIC PLANNING FOR GETTING RESEARCH
RESULTS FROM NCHRP PROJECTS INTO PRACTICE
Promoting Useful Results
Previous reference has been made to the fact that many
activities take place between initiation of research pro-
grams and execution of research contracts. Many addi-
tional ones take place before formal publication of the
final reports is realized. At milestones in the process net-
work reflecting all activities, NCHRP concentrates on the
opportunities to increase the probability that useful results
will find their way into practice more quickly. Beyond
the sponsor's initial contribution of setting the goals for
a program of applied research dedicated to solving press-
ing operational problems, the NCHRP tries to further
increase the probability by:
· Establishing the agency and personnel qualifications
that are mandatory if the goals are to be achieved. Em-
phasis is placed on the importance of a record of successful
past performance in endeavors similar to those to be un-
dertaken. Further, it is also stipulated that proposals are
not acceptable if they do not contain specific statements
as to how the anticipated results can be used to improve
practice.
. Making use of panel members, who not only are
experts in the particular problem area but who also have
a complete understanding of the needs of the practitioners,
to define the research problem and its objectives in the
form of a precise project statement on which fully re
OCR for page 6
6
sponsive research proposals can be based. Experts drawn
from the highway and transportation departments play a
major role in this task.
. Exercising extreme care in the process of selecting
research agencies to ensure not only that the proposed
research plan is the best possible in addressing the specifics
of the objectives but that it also culminates in the best
promise for providing the practitioner with a product that
is both usable and readily implementable.
. Establishing on the basis of staff and project panel
review of and suggested modifications to the research
plan a clear meeting of the minds as to what specifically
is expected from the project and the researchers in order
to meet the needs of the practitioner.
. Acquiring an amplified research plan that is intended
to detail comprehensively the approved research plan and
to include a specific schedule of events for the major tasks.
This document is used by the stab in the day-to-day
surveillance of the project's progress and by the project
panel as required.
. Carrying out project surveillance sufficient to keeping
the research in line with the approved research plan,
constantly keeping the researchers aware of the needs of
the practitioner, and insuring that all project develop-
ments through final reporting center around these needs.
. Requiring research reports in a format that is de-
signed specifically to first meet the needs of the busy
administrator and the practitioner. Different treatment is
given to the material that would be of interest to other
researchers.
NCHRP Reporting of Research Results
In an applied research program such as the NCHRP,
the sponsor rightfully expects not only results that are
accurate but also findings that can be readily put into
practice. This means that the final research reports must
be presented in language understandable to both admin-
istrators and engineers and in such format as to permit
easy assimilation. Research reports are sometimes so
clouded by obscure language and format that the reader
must spend precious time and effort in translating them
into concise and readily usable working documents. Re
AWARD-WINNING RESEARCH UNDER NCHRP
Several projects have been honored to date as outstand-
ing contributions to the field of highway safety and have
received Metropolitan Life Awards for Research in Ac-
cident Prevention from the National Safety Council. They
are:
. NCHRP Project 1-7, "Development of Interim Skid-
Resistance Requirements for Highway Pavement Sur-
faces." In 1968, this project, reported as VCHRP Report
37, "Tentative Skid-Resistance Requirements for Main
Rural Highways," received the Award of Merit ($5001.
search agencies for the NCHRP are required to report
their results in a form that succinctly summarizes the
findings for the busy administrator and likewise informs
the practitioner of the application of the findings. The
detailed research techniques and analyses in which a re-
searcher would be interested are presented in appendixes
and do not have to be labored through to extract the
findings. The Program specifies style and organization of
all reports to guide the researcher in his writing so that
maximum use by the sponsors may be obtained.
IMPLEMENTING RESEARCH RESULTS
Over the years there have been opportunities for the
Program staff and various AASHTO committees to work
together to structure the research findings into the best
possible form for immediate use by the practitioner. Such
joint efforts are highly desirable and represent the ultimate
in the steps that the Program can take to weight the odds
in favor of implementation of the findings.
AASHTO has provided the NCHRP with frequent
opportunities for staff and project researchers to go before
the various committees of the Association to present their
findings and recommendations directly to the user com-
munity.
EXAMPLES OF UTILIZATION OF NCHRP RESEARCH
RESULTS
Beyond the uses of NCHRP research results cited in
Table 5, there undoubtedly are many other uses that are
unknown to the Program. NCHRP reports have been
abstracted by numerous foreign countries, including Rus-
sia, with subsequent utilization being reported here. In
the interest of all potential users, the Program will be
grateful for any information on actual application of re-
sults and associated cost savings. This will be reported in
the hope that widespread interest will develop in the States
and that, consequently, research results will find their
way more quickly into policies, practices, procedures,
specifications, and standards of the highway and trans-
portation departments.
. NCHRP Project 3-8, "Factors Influencing Safety at
Highway-Rail Grade Crossings." In 1969, this project,
reported as NCHRP Report 50, "Factors Influencing
Safety at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings," received top
honors the Award of Honor ($1,0001.
. NCHRP Project 2-3, "Analysis of Motor Vehicle
Accident Data as Related to Highway Classes and Design
Elements." Also in 1969, this project, reported as NCHRP
Report 47, "Accident Rates as Related to Design Ele-
ments of Rural Highways," placed second and received
the Award of Merit ($5001.

Other projects prominent in various other classes of
awards are:
. NCHRP Project 20-7, Task 2, "The Relation of Side
Slope Design to Highway Safety." In 1977, Eugene D.
Marquis and Graeme D. Weaver shared the 1977 Arthur
M. Wellington Prize of the American Society of Civil
Engineers for their paper, "Roadside Slope Design for
Safety," which was based on the research reported in
NCHRP Report 15S, "Selection of Safe Roadside Cross
Sections."
. NCHRP Project 20-3, "Optimizing Freeway Corri-
dor Operation Through Traffic Surveillance, Communi-
cation, and Control." In 1969, a paper based on this
project received Honorable Ment on under the Past Pres-
ident's Award, Institute of Traffic Engineers.
. NCHRP Project 9-1, "Asphalt Durability and Its
Relation to Pavement Performance." In 1969, a paper
based on this project, reported in NCHRP Report 67,
`'Relation of Asphalt Rheological Properties to Pavement
Durability," received the W. J. Emmons Annual Award
of the Association of Asphalt Paving Technologists as
the best paper at the annual meeting.
. NCHRP Project 5-8, 'iWarrants for Highway Light-
ing." In 1973, a paper based on this project, reported in
NCHRP Report 152, "Warrants for Highway Lighting,"
received the Highway Research Board Award as the most
outstanding paper presented at the Board's Annual Meet-
ing.

. NCHRP Project 1-17, "Guidelines for Recycling
Pavement Materials." In 1981, a paper based on this
project, reported in NCHRP Report 224, "Guidelines for
Recycling Pavement Materials," received the W. J.

annual meeting of the Association of Asphalt Paving
Technologists.
cials and its member departments. The Program is one
of applied (rather than basic) research, and every possible
effort is made to help administrators and engineers put
the findings to early use. Program policy ensures maxi-
mum exposure of the research while in progress in the
hope that research results will, in fact, more quickly find
their way into practice in the form of policies, procedures,
specifications, and standards of State highway and trans-
portation departments.
