The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) is a contract research program with the objective of developing near-term, practical solutions to problems facing airport operating agencies. The ACRP is sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and managed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, through the Transportation Research Board. Program oversight and governance are provided by representatives of airport operating agencies and others appointed to the ACRP Oversight Committee (AOC) by the Secretary of Transportation.
The ACRP undertakes research and other technical activities in response to the needs of airport operators on issues involving administration, construction, design, environment, human resources, legal, maintenance, operations, planning, policy, and safety at airports.
The AOC met on July 17 & 18 to select projects for the Fiscal Year 2025 program. This announcement provides background information and a general research objective for each project.
The ACRP is now seeking nominations for serving on project panels. These panels will develop requests for proposals, select contractors, and review draft deliverables prepared by the contractors. Nominations, including self-nominations, may be submitted through MyTRB, which requires registration.
The deadline for nominations is September 20, 2024, but it is strongly recommended that you submit your nominations as soon as possible.
Requests for proposals are expected to be released starting in November 2024 and will be available only on the World Wide Web. Each proposal will also be announced by e-mail. To be notified of RFP’s that have been posted and other ACRP news, send an email to LISTSERV@LSW.NAS.EDU and type: SUBSCRIBE ACRP_ANNOUNCE in the body of the email. Any research agency is eligible to submit a proposal; guidance for proposal preparation is provided in the brochure, Information and Instructions for Preparing Proposals, available at the website referenced above.
