In 2003, the ACRP was authorized to conduct applied research to help airport operators solve shared challenges that are not addressed by other federal research. This report addresses: (1) the extent to which ACRP's processes reflect criteria for conducting a high-quality research program; and (2) ACRP's results to date and their usefulness for the aviation community. The report reviewed ACRP documentation and compared ACRP processes to criteria previously developed that can be applied to research programs. These criteria identify three phases of the applied research process and steps to help produce high-quality results. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication.
Urges the US Congress to establish a national airport cooperative research program. The committee that produced the report called such a program essential to ensuring airport security, efficiency, safety, and environmental compatibility.
TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Research Results Digest 13: Synthesis of Information Related to Airport Practices is a digest of the progress and status of ACRP Project 11 03, Synthesis of Information Related to Airport Practices.
Airports are a vital part of the nations air transportation system and face many similar challenges. In 2003, the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) was authorized to conduct applied research to help airport operators solve shared challenges that are not addressed by other federal research. As requested, this report addresses (1) the extent to which ACRPs processes reflect criteria for conducting a high-quality research program and (2) ACRPs results to date and their usefulness for the aviation community. GAO reviewed ACRP documentation and compared ACRP processes to criteria previously developed by GAO that can be applied to research programs. These criteria identify three phases of the applied research process and steps to help produce high-quality results. GAO also reviewed ACRP projects and publications and interviewed ACRP stakeholders and airport officials.

GAO also reviewed ACRP projects and publications and interviewed ACRP stakeholders and airport officials. GAO recommends that the Secretary of Transportation (1) ensure ACRP documentation reflects all participants and governance practices and (2) clarify ACRP's role in conducting security research.
