TRB Webinar: Developing an ACRP problem statement through IdeaHub

Are you interested in submitting your great idea to the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)? TRB hosted a webinar on Monday, January 27, 2020, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that talked through the process. Although nearly every ACRP research project begins its life as a problem statement, the problem statement writing process can be daunting. This webinar will provide tips from two ACRP Senior Program Officers about writing an effective problem statement and how to submit it to IdeaHub. IdeaHub is ACRP’s online collaborative platform for identifying research ideas and turning them into problem statements. Presenters discussed how to maximize problem statement effectiveness and explained how to use IdeaHub.
