NCHRP 20-68: Key Steps … Varied Techniques
• Select Topics and Refine ScopesAASHTO and NCHRP
• Conduct and Document Scans (3 scan types) Scan Teams, Contractor, Innovator-Hosts
• Disseminate Results (reports, webinars, missionary work, other)

NCHRP 20-68A: Domestic Scan History
• Apr ‘05: SCOR approved concept ($250,000 FY ’05)
• July ‘05: Business Plan completed (Cambridge Systematics, Inc.)
• Nov ‘06: Pilot scans (2) completed(reports published as web documents; FHWA support +$75,000)
• Dec ‘07: Full program initiated (Arora and Associates, Inc.; 6-yr contract)
• 6 annual funding increments through FY 2012: $3M+ ($500,000/yr for scans, $3.0 million total + FHWA support, $224,000)

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…
