Project 20-07: Research for AASHTO Standing Committee on
Highways
Project 20-07 OverviewSince 1969, a means to conduct research needed by SCOH
and its subcommitteesCurrently funded at $1,200,000 annuallyProject tasks are typically less than $100,000 and about 12
monthsNCHRP Project 20-07 panel selects tasks for SCOH approval
Panel typically chaired by SCOH Vice ChairMembers include SCOH subcommittee Chairs
Sample Tasks include:Input to AASHTO Specifications and GuidesSCOH and Subcommittee strategic plansOther information desired by SCOH or its subcommittees
