TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Legal Research Digest 55: Identification, Prevention, and Remedies for False Claims in Highway Improvement Contracting is designed to help define false claims as is set forth in case law, civil statutes, and other resources; and to distinguish fraud.
