9 Appendix A Statement of Task An ad hoc committee will examine the long-term stewardship requirements for the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) safety databases and will provide policy and technical advice, in the form of written reports, to the Congress and the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) on recommended strategies for meeting these requirements. The committee will focus its recommendations on plans and future actions by the US DOT and other organizations that will be involved in the long-term stewardship of the SHRP 2 safety database. The committee is expected to provide recommendations concerning the following: resource requirements, including specific federal budget requirements, to administer the program; administrative and oversight structures, including institutional arrangements and legal requirements to carry out the tasks involved in long-term stewardship of the data; database management and security; and user access and support. The study is intended to support the overall purpose of the SHRP 2 safety dataâto provide maximum access to the data for researchers over the next 30 to 40 years, while ensuring conformity to the data use conditions contained in the participant consent forms. The project is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
