What Is the ACRP?What Is the ACRP?
Airport Cooperative Research Program
Created in December 2003 as part of the Vision 100 – Century of Aviation Act
Program is run by representatives of airport operating agencies
Purpose: collaborate on airport research taking insight and direction from various disciplines

How Does It Work?How Does It Work?
Funded annually by FAA—about $12 million in 2007
Administered by National Academies / TRB on behalf of FAA (like NCHRP and TCRP)
Research projects can be suggested by anyone (e.g., AGTA)
ACRP Oversight Committee evaluates all submitted problem statements and selects those best meeting its objectives
Project Panels formed to oversee each selected project
Competitive selection of Research Teams by Project Panels
Research Teams conduct and publish guidelines, reports, etc.

How To Participate In Future ProjectsHow To Participate In Future Projects
Submit a problem statement What does your airport need?
What will you Airport director find useful and immediately beneficial
Volunteer for a Project Panel
Lead/participate in a Research Team
Encourage others in your agency to do so
