23 ACADEMIC YEAR 2008â2009 During the first year of the program, the appli- cation deadline was in June 2008. Twenty-five submissions were received from students repre- senting 18 different universities. The panel met in Washington, D.C., for 2 days in late July to evalu- ate the submittals. Ten applicants were selected, each of whom would receive a stipend of $10,000 for successful completion of a research paper on the subject chosen by the applicant. Completed papers were considered for presentation at the TRB Annual Meeting, and six outstanding papers were selected for publication in the Transporta- tion Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2184. In the list that follows, the name of the student author appears first, followed by the degree earned (in parentheses), the names of academic advisers or others who made specific contributions to the paper, the name of the university, and the title of the final paper as published in the Transportation Research Record. Abstracts of these papers are available in ACRP Research Results Digest 14, which can be accessed online at www.trb.org by searching on âACRP RRD 14.â 1. Stacey Mumbower (PhD) and Laurie A.
