How To Write an Effective Research Statement
Writing an effective research statement is not a simple matter, even to transportation practitioners who face serious problems and challenges on a daily basis. The research needed might be obvious to them but difficult to describe to non-specialists. They may not have thought about how to quantify it or how to justify the needed research with respect to other agency or national priorities. A serious problem to them might not even be on a decision maker?s radar screen.
This document was written to provide some guidance on developing research statements for funding consideration. The categories below are based on those of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program, but they should be adaptable to any research funding program.
State DOT Laboratory Facilities
This document is a result of a survey of state DOTs and lists laboratory facilities.
National University Transportation Centers Laboratory Facilities
The purpose of this document is to provide information on existing or planned university based transportation related research laboratory facilities at National University transportation Centers designated through the SAFETEA-LU highway bill. The goal in developing this document was to provide a reference “tool” of available national assets that could be used by federal, state, local, tribal, and private industry transportation professionals; increase awareness and encourage laboratory utilization; and reduce the potential for redundancy in the facilities offered to maximize federal funding utilization.
Federal Lab Facilities
This is a list and description of federal lab facilities that are available for researchers. Details about each lab include lab name, lab type, contact people, lab capabilities and equipment, and lab mission.
