35 5 Stakeholder Engagement Obtaining input from current industry practitioners and researchers was critical to the identification of knowledge gaps and industry priorities. The research team completed outreach to key stakeholder groups to identify these research gaps, and to solicit specific input on future ACRP environmental research projects. This section summarizes the stakeholders engaged for this project. Outreach took the form of individual and small group teleconferences, surveys, and in-person meetings at conferences and trade association committee meetings identified in Table 2. The research team conducted an online survey via surveymonkey.com for airport stakeholders, both traditional and non-traditional. In total 36 responses were collected; these are displayed in Table 3.
