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.

Implementation Peer Exchange
This report documents a peer exchange, held in Alaska, on implementation of research results.
Research Implementation Status Definitions
The Illinois Department of Transportation’s Research Section is in the process of setting implementation status definitions to aid in establishing research performance measures. The purpose of this survey was to discover what categories other states use as their implementation status for research projects (e.g. implemented, not implemented, implementation underway, etc.) and their definitions.

Research Management Database Business Analysis
This is a product of TPF-5(181) Transportation Research Program Management Database. The report presents the results of an analysis of business needs for state department of transportation (DOT) research project and program management databases. This research was conducted to provide a common base of foundational information for agencies wishing to develop or improve an existing RPMD and to explore options for future collective RPMD development activities that could benefit multiple agencies. Based on the requirements, the research identifies several future initiatives for consideration to improve research data management and sharing practices. Project partners include: California Department of Transportation, Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities, Indiana Department of Transportation, Michigan Department of Transportation, Nebraska Department of Transportation, New York State Department of Transportation, and Washington State Department of Transportation.

Project Performance Evaluation
The Phase 1 portion of this form is completed after the completion of each research project. It provides information on the project, implementation, and technology transfer. The phase 2 of this form is to be completed two years after the completion of each project. It provides information on the project, implementation, and benefits.
