CTBSSP Syntheses of Practice and Research Results Digests contain the findings of individual research projects.

r_arrow Syntheses of Practice: Syntheses report on the state of the practice based on literature reviews and surveys of recent activities in critical areas. Syntheses also inform airport managers about innovations being used by others to solve problems.
r_arrow Research Results Digests (RRDs): RRDs are used to promote early awareness of project results in order to encourage implementation. RRDs also summarize specific findings that emphasize how the research may be used. The contents are organized in terms of the problem and the solution to it, the findings, and the applications. RRDs generally run 4–32 printed pages.
