NCHRP 20-68B/C: Impact Assessment and Enhancement
FY ‘09 $200,000* NCHRP 20-68B/C
• Assess the impact, cost-effectiveness of domestic scans
• Explore alternatives to team-travel-based scan
• Enhance dissemination community of innovators, networks of innovation
* In addition to $3M+ used for scan activities.

Research Questions:• How do DOTs learn about and implement innovations;
how do we compare with others; can we do better?• Is the NCHRP Domestic Scan Program cost-effective;
how can we do better?• What can we learn about what factors encourage
innovation awareness and implementation?
NCHRP 20-68C: Innovation Networks
DOT Effectiveness
Successful Implementation.
Innovation Initiation
Innovation Awareness
Networks and Relationships
Organizational and Individual Factors, e.g., • Culture, personality…
