Services
are technical support we have provided and plan to provide to others
due to our unique work, expertise, renowned status, facilities and/or
our resources over the 2002 and 2003 fiscal year. The services each
team have in common, e.g., coordination of Pooled Fund Projects, NCHRP
panels, TRB committee work, professional committee support, routine
problem solving and trouble shooting, participation in conferences
and workshops, consulting with States on the application of our research
results/products and other technologies, participation in FHWA work
groups and task forces, and routine lab tests are not listed. This
is not intended to be a listing of every function or activity that
we perform.
