NCHRP Process Research for the AASHTO SCOH  Annual Budget of $1,200,000  Problems Submitted by SCOH Subcommittees  Problems must address pressing needs of the subcommittee  Problems must cost less than $100,000  Selection made at the Spring and Fall AASHTO meetings

SCOR Desires for 2010 NCHRP  Research problem statements should support AASHTO committee/subcommittee strategic plans  Research problem statements should support the AASHTO Strategic Plan and Vision  Research problem statements should address immediate needs and long term vision  Problem statements should be ranked by the appropriate AASHTO committee/subcommittee  Subgroup problem statements should be ranked by the parent committee/subcommittee  Staged research submittals (e.g., to develop a new manual) should include a plan showing future submittals  Committees/subcommittees should identify the top 2 or 3 issues they face
