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.

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.

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.
