How do States keep their partners posted on the progress of studies?
It is the responsibility of the lead agency to keep their partners informed of the progress of the study. The lead agency, on a calendar quarter basis, will provide study status and progress reports. These periodic reports are integral to successful communication with study partners about the progress within the study and to communication with the transportation community at large about research in progress. All progress report information, including reports on studies managed by the TRB or FHWA, will be posted on the pooled fund program web site. Report information may be password-protected if the study is of a confidential nature.
