2009 Sun Grant/DOTCompetitive Grants Program Awardees

Page Content

 

In Fall 2009, the Southeastern Sun Grant Center announced the availability of its regional competitive grants program with a Request for Applications, which was sent to key contacts at all land-grant universities in the region.

In total, 84 full proposals were submitted by the submission deadline. Full proposals were received from 11 different land-grant universities in the southeast region.

After extensive review by a panel from academic, business and government sectors with expertise in all the DOT research priority areas, 13 proposals were selected for funding.
