Abstract:

A study of cooperative research programs between highway agencies and universities in 10 states was conducted. A wide variety of cooperative arrangements was found. Major differences involved the degree of formality in the arrangement, the extent to which the university participated in the specification of the annual research program, funding provisions, and the role of the agency's research director. In all instances, the benefits of cooperative efforts were judged as being well worth the costs. The most successful programs were characterized by the following features: (a) joint participation by both the university and the highway agency in the initial development of the collaborative program; (b) a willing commitment by both parties to make the program work; (c) a truly collaborative, rather than an arms-length, relationship; and (d) lots of time, trust, and patience.
