OTREC Selects First Projects
On April 2, 2007, the OTREC Executive Committee selected the top 22 research, education and technology transfer projects for 2006-2007 funding. Over 50 proposals requesting over $2.6M were received in January, and each proposal went through a vigorous peer review process. Proposals were sent to at least three expert peer reviewers, including one federal representative. Peer-reviewers ranked the proposals on the basis of intellectual merit, broader impacts, relevance to OTRECís theme and the national transportation research agenda. There were 16 research, 3 education and 3 technology transfer projects selected. Three are multi-campus and 10 are multi-PI, reflecting the great collaboration within OTREC.
