Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ318NF00012
The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement. Its central purpose is to route research funding, collected by FHWA from State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), to the Transportation Research Board (TRB) so TRB can administer and carry out NCHRP research. A key theme of this particular opportunity is a stronger, more explicit emphasis on implementation, meaning the work is not only about producing reports or findings, but also about helping the states and the broader transportation community put those results into practice.
Under this cooperative agreement, TRB is responsible for managing and conducting research across a portfolio of topics that are chosen through the NCHRP process. Projects are approved each year by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Special Committee on Research and Innovation (commonly referenced as RAMP-I). This setup reflects how NCHRP typically operates: states pool resources for nationally relevant transportation research, then collaboratively steer the research agenda so it addresses shared needs and produces usable products, guidance, and tools.
The scope of research supported by the agreement is broad but focused on core highway and bridge program needs. The covered areas include: (1) highway planning, financing, and administration, which can involve how agencies prioritize investments, manage programs, and pay for infrastructure; (2) highway and bridge design, materials, construction, roadside development, and barrier systems, which targets practical engineering questions that affect durability, cost, work zone performance, and roadside safety hardware; and (3) traffic operations and control, illumination and visibility, traffic planning, and safety, which addresses how roadways function day to day and how crashes and fatalities can be reduced through better operations, design practices, and traffic management strategies.
The intended users of the research results include State DOTs, the transportation community at large (which can include local agencies, practitioners, and industry stakeholders), and FHWA itself. The overall public value is straightforward: by supporting coordinated, multi-state research with an implementation focus, the program is meant to help maintain and improve the national highway infrastructure while promoting highway safety. In practical terms, that often translates into research outputs that agencies can directly adopt, such as recommended specifications, design and construction guidance, evaluation methods, decision-support tools, and implementation-oriented products that speed up real-world use.
