Putting Research into Practice: A Synopsis of Successful Strategies and Case Histories
NCHRP Research Results Digest 225: This synopsis summarizes implementation practices leading to the successful and timely application of research findings, and illustrates the use of these practices in several case studies drawn from the research findings.
Facilitating the implementation of Research Findings
NCHRP Report 382: This report contains the findings of a study that was performed to identify the factors affecting implementation of research results, to delineate strategies that are expected to promote this implementation, and to recommend research to test the more viable strategies for putting transportation research results into practice. The report describes the research and provides recommendations to help state highway and transportation agencies and other highway organizations pursue more effective implementation of research results. This report should be of interest to decision makers and agency personnel responsible for research planning and administration.

Effective Experiment Design and Data Analysis in Transportation Research (NCHRP Report 727)
This report describes the factors that should be considered in designing experiments and presents 21 typical transportation examples illustrating the experiment design process, including selection of appropriate statistical tests. The examples encompass a wide range of transportation disciplines and statistical methods. This report will be very beneficial to anyone with limited research experience needing to answer a question based on data (e.g., presenting ozone concentrations in a region, determining whether a contractor?s quality
assurance/quality control procedures are adequate, estimating the effect of automated enforcement on speeds, monitoring trends in the condition of bridge superstructures, developing
a user survey to determine the impact of transit fare changes). The report is a companion to NCHRP CD-22, Scientific Approaches to Transportation Research, Volumes 1 and 2,
which were developed in NCHRP Project 20-45 and present detailed information on statistical methods. NCHRP CD-22 is available at http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/152122.aspx.
