... This includes fulfilling all IRB practices during data collection as well as during all subsequent analyses for the life of the data set. A suite of quality assurance, quality control, and project management activities will be applied throughout the study to ensure that the highest-quality data are collected within budget and schedule constraints.

... The objective of S08 is to quantify the contribution of relevant driver, roadway, vehicle, and environmental factors to the research questions selected and assess the countermeasure implications of the findings. The knowledge gleaned from the SHRP 2 analyses, as well as the many additional analyses anticipated to be performed by other researchers, will support public policy, rulemaking, infrastructure improvements, and other -- as yet unknown -- activities targeted at reducing the fatalities on our nation's roadways.
