Developing a Guide to Ensuring Access to the Publications and Data of Federally Funded Transportation Research
This report describes the development of NCHRP Research Report 936: Guide to Ensuring Access to the Publications and Data of Federally Funded Transportation Research, which provides guidance for state departments of transportation (DOTs) to help them meet the requirements of the U.S. DOT Public Access Plan. The overall project was structured into two phases. Phase I included three tasks: Task 1, Preparation of a Technical Memorandum; Task 2, Development of a Conceptual Framework and Outline for Phase II Activities; Task 3, Project Interim Report, including Stand-Alone Technical Memorandum and Phase II Plan. The Phase I technical memorandum (Task 1) was developed through a set of subtasks, each aimed at gathering one facet of the information needed to develop the memorandum. These subtasks were: literature review; identification of stakeholder information requirements and needs; review of data management plans; review of availability and usability of training materials; and technical memorandum preparation. The primary goal of Phase II was to develop guidance for state DOTs that would help them understand and comply with the requirements of the U.S. DOT Public Access Plan. Phase II included two tasks: Task 4, Implementation of an approved Phase II work plan to carry out and test implementation guidance provided in Phase I deliverables; and Task 5, Developing stand-alone guidance for State DOT’s, public agencies and transportation research organizations to follow in implementing the directive. This final report describes the information-gathering process of the project as a whole, as well as how that information informed the guidance for state DOTs. The guidance itself is provided under separate cover as it is meant to be a stand-alone document.
