UTRC Research Initiative
The UTRC Research Initiative is a competitive matching grant program for faculty-initiated research projects. Each spring, UTRC issues a Request for Proposals for projects to be funded in the following academic year. Proposals are evaluated by faculty at other University Transportation Centers outside Region II, as well as by UTRC's partner agencies within the region, and awarded on a competitive basis.
The objectives of the UTRC Research Initiative are to:
- Promote excellent and innovative research projects on transportation problems relevant to U.S. DOT’s Region II.
- Encourage multi-disciplinary and multi-university approaches to research on these problems.
- Provide practical and workable contributions and solutions to the region’s transportation community.
- Further the education of transportation students by involving them in scholarly research.
- Encourage junior faculty in the UTRC consortium to compete for research funds.
Application Information
Request for Proposals for the 2009-10 Academic Year will be available soon.
