TRB TDM (AEP60) Committee Paper Review - Annual Call for Volunteers

[Lisa Kay Schweyer]

Hello fellow TRB TDM Committee Members –

Each year, our committee receives paper submissions for consideration to be presented at the TRB annual meeting or included in TRB publications. We rely on our members and friends, “soon to be” friends, and TDM experts to provide reviews for those papers. It is a great way to see what researchers have been working on and be exposed to some cutting-edge ideas.

Committee members are required to help with the reviews, but friends and soon to be friends are also welcome. We also have 2 new volunteer opportunities you can sign up for as well – being a “math review helper” and a paper handler.  Math reviewers will help those who would like to “phone a friend” when reviewing math portions.  And paper handlers will help organize and assign the reviewers.  Please take a moment to fill out this short survey about your availability and interests to help this year:

Please note, we will facilitate information sessions for all paper reviewers during the summer to provide an overview of the process and what to expect as a reviewer. 

Thank you on behalf of our TRB TDM (AEP60) Committee Paper Review and Annual Meeting Programming Task Force.

Please reach out if you have any questions.
