22 ACADEMIC YEAR 2009–2010 Applications for the academic year 2009–2010 were due in May 2009. Forty-three submissions were received from students representing 28 differ- ent universities. The applicant pool included 27 PhD candidates, 15 master’s degree candidates, and 1 law degree candidate. Of the 11 students selected, 7 were PhD candidates, 3 were master’s degree candidates, and 1 was a law school candidate. As in the first year, each applicant selected would receive a stipend of $10,000 for successful completion of a research paper on the subject chosen by the applicant. FAA pro- vided an additional grant to cover the 11th student so that a research subject of particular interest could be included in the program. As was true for the first year, the completed papers were considered for presenta- tion at the TRB Annual Meeting following submis- sion. All 11 papers were selected for publication in the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2206. 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 “ACRP RRD 14.” 1. Gabriela K. DeFrancisci (PhD), Zhi M.
