Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues Update: 2008–2013
TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Research Results Digest 19: Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues Update: 2008–2013 provides initial information for the 2013–2014 academic year of the Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues (ACRP Project 11-04).
The report also includes abstracts for student papers from the 2012–2013 and 2011–2012 academic years, and lists papers from prior academic years beginning in 2008–2009. Abstracts for the earlier papers are available in
ACRP RRD 14.
The program, sponsored
by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and administered by the ACRP, is designed to encourage
applied research on airport-related aviation system issues and to foster the
next generation of aviation community leaders. Under the program, up to
ten awards of $10,000 each are made to full-time graduate students for successful
completion of a research paper on public-sector airport-related aviation
issues during the academic year.
Candidates must be full-time students
enrolled in a graduate degree program at a North American accredited institution
of higher learning during the academic year. Successful papers are presented
at the TRB Annual Meeting following completion of the program, and
exceptional papers have been published in subsequent volumes of the Transportation
Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board.
