      <title>TRB Core Program Services for a Highway RD&amp;T Program – Federal Fiscal Year 2026/TRB (State DOTs) Fiscal Year 2027</title>
      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/2692353</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The transportation research community consists of numerous partnerships to aid in the conduct of research and the implementation of technologies and innovations.  The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the State Departments of Transportation (SDOTs), and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) are among these partners, who work closely in many facets of the national research program. The Transportation Research Board (TRB)’s mission is to promote innovation and progress in transportation by stimulating and conducting research, facilitating the dissemination of information, and encouraging the implementation of research results. TRB fulfills this mission through the work of its standing technical committees and task forces addressing all modes and aspects of transportation; publication and dissemination of reports and peer-reviewed technical papers on research findings; administration of contract research programs; conduct of special studies on transportation policy issues; maintenance of Transport Research International Documentation (TRID); and hosting an annual meeting that attracts approximately 14,000 transportation professionals from throughout the United States and abroad. This pooled fund provides a mechanism for States to transfer funds to FHWA to add to the TRB Core Program Services cooperative agreement.

OBJECTIVE; The objective of this program is to provide a mechanism for State transportation departments to support the TRB's core program and services.]]></description>

      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/2573045</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The solicitation will cover the period of the Transportation Research Board (TRB)'s fiscal year 2026 that began July 1, 2025, and ends June 30, 2026. Funds committed by participating States will be from their Federal fiscal year 2025 funding (previous year funding may also be used). Consult the attached spreadsheet for the amount for individual states and Washington, DC.

OBJECTIVES: To provide a mechanism for State transportation departments to support the TRB's core program services.

SCOPE OF WORK: The pooled fund study permits States to contribute their funds to the TRB Core Program Services instead of sending their contributions directly to TRB. The TRB Core Program Services provides support funding for the TRB annual meeting, committees, conferences, webinars, TRID, and TRB publications.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Section 1203 of the The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21)  stipulates the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) to promulgate performance measures in the areas of the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP), Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ), and the National Freight Movement (Freight) within 18 months after the date of enactment of the MAP-21. State DOTs are tasked with developing performance measures plans, which include asset management plans. The focus of this pooled fund project will be in the area of the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP). OBJECTIVES: 1) Provide communication and information sharing among member states. Discuss research needs and provide research ideas to be developed through the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and other research opportunities; 2) Provide a technology and knowledge exchange forum to enhance the practical knowledge of member states concerning asset management implementation. 3) Enhance the working knowledge of the asset management community.
