Appendix C: Contributors

The Research Funding Guidebook is the result of a volunteer effort. Several conversations about the difficulty of proposing research took place during meetings of the TRB Conduct of Research (CoR) (currently the TRB Research Innovation Implementation Management Committee) and AASHTO Research Advisory (RAC) committees. These conversations led to the creation of an outline for a Transportation Research Brochure, which evolved over the spring of 2008. As the outline took shape, it became apparent that the product would not be a brochure as originally intended, but a much larger document. Transportation professionals from across the country volunteered to write specific sections, which were merged, formatted, and edited by TRB and Washington State DOT staff, and the AASHTO RAC and TRB CoR committee (currently TRB Research Innovation Implementation Management Committee) volunteers.

In 2017 and 2018, a committee of volunteers chaired by Sue Sillick, Montana DOT Research Programs Manager, led the effort to update this document. CTC & Associates LLC was contracted to review, reorganize, and update existing information, and add information about new research funding programs.

In 2021, the Research Funding Guidebook was migrated from TRB’s website to the RPPM website, at the same time, the RPPM website was migrated from SharePoint to WordPress. Additional volunteers, also listed below, reviewed the Research Funding Guidebook webite to ensure the migration was accurate.

Table 1 lists the contributors to the 2008, 2017/2018, and the 2021 efforts. (Affiliations noted below are as of the time of each contributor’s participation.)
