The Transportation Research Board training program, "Ahead of the Curve: Mastering the Management of Transportation Research" (AOTC) is designed to enhance the knowledge, skills, and abilities of transportation research managers. The program is geared toward research managers at state departments of transportation, university transportation centers, federal agencies, consulting firms, and industry members. The first group of AOTC trainees under the pilot program graduated in July 28, 2019. The curriculum is comprised of four required core courses (Making Research Relevant, Running a Research Program, Delivering the Program, and Quality Improvement) and 12 electives. This article discusses the genesis and evolution of the AOTC program, benefits of the program, delivery options, and course content.
