The study examined 128 research studies completed by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Research Center between 2002 and 2012, the extent to which their recommendations were implemented at the department, and the impact of the implemented research. It concluded that for 78 percent of the completed studies, one or more recommendations had been implemented. The study also identified benefits that research provided to the agency, as well as factors affecting the implementation of research and the utilization of Research Center services.
Research (about research)
Implementation Planning and Documentation Form
This form follows implementation from contracting through the completion of implementation. It has the following sections: Part A: Project Information, Part B: General Implementation Information, Part C: Implementation Activities, and Part D: Approval.

It includes the following sections: Introduction, Implementation Integration in the Research Process, Beyond MDT Research: Implementing the Research Results and Innovations of Others, Implementation Funding, Implementation Tracking, and Implementation Reporting. Appendices include the following: Stage 2: Research Topic Statement Form, On Developing a Scope of Work, Scope of Work Form, Implementation Planning and Documentation Form, and the Partnering Project Close-Out Form.
Synthesis of Implementation Survey Results
Implementation Survey Responses
Input, insight and previous knowledge from practitioners to address implementation issues and concerns. Feedback from the state DOTs on research implementation and their input on the following three questions.
1. What are the over-arching concerns or challenges facing research implementation?
2. What would you like to see as an end result of the study?
3. Are there any past ideas or topics that group can build on?
GDOT 2017 Annual Research Implementation Report
This report marks the Office of Organizational Performance Management?s (OPM) fifth Annual Research Implementation Report to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Research Advisory Committee (RAC). The report summarizes research implementation activities completed or in progress, since the last RAC meeting, under the GDOT Research and Development (R&D) program or the Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) program.
Annual Implementation Report
This report marks the Office of Research (OR)?s fourth Annual Implementation Report to the Georgia DOT Research Advisory Committee (RAC). The report summarizes research implementation activities completed or in progress, since the last RAC meeting, under the GDOT Research and Development (R&D) program or the Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) program. Contract research is normally funded with 80% federal State Planning and Research (SP&R) dollars and 20% state motor fuel dollars, while TPF projects are funded with 100% federal SP&R dollars. The report also summarizes implementation activities associated with the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP-2) and take-homes from the 2015 TRB Annual Meeting.
Research Implementation Facilitator’s Meeting – 7/2015
The agenda is attached. The meeting notes will be attached when completed.
Annual Implementation Report
This report is the third Annual Implementation Report presented to the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) of the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). The report summarizes implementation activities for two primary sets of research conducted under the GDOT Research and Development (R&D) program by the Office of Research (OR): (1) contract research completed since the last RAC meeting that has either been implemented or is pending implementation; and (2) examples of ongoing implementation under the Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) program. Contract research is normally funded with 80% federal/20% state, State Planning and Research (SP&R) dollars, while TPF projects are funded with 100% federal SP&R dollars. The report also summarizes implementation activities associated with the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP-2) and take-homes from the 2014 TRB Annual Meeting.
Research Implementation and Leadership Engagement Peer Exchange
This report discusses the proceedings and recommendations of the 2012 UDOT Research Peer Exchange. The 2012 UDOT Research Peer Exchange took place in October of 2012. Representatives from eight different state DOTs, as well as representatives from four federal agencies, gave presentations on the implementation of research in his or her organization. Participants also attended the UDOT Annual Conference where they presented a condensed version of their state or agency?s implementation of research and were able to see the inner workings of the Utah Department of Transportation. On day three, participants provided feedback for UDOT on how they could improve their research program. Participants then discussed leadership, how it fostered research implementation, and vice versa. Top suggestions for involving leadership were gathered from each participant at the end of the exchange. The participants were asked to focus on four areas: Implementation, Innovation, How Leadership Affects Research, and How Research Affects Leadership.
