Research needs statements

When the need arises the Virginia Transportation Research Council posts research needs statements (RNS) at this site for consideration by our university partners. When an RNS is posted VTRC will send an email announcement of the posting to those on the RNS mailing list.

To join the RNS mailing list please send your name, university affiliation, and email address to Bill.Kelsh@VDOT.Virginia.gov indicating your interest in participating in our program. For eligibility requirements and additional details, refer to the documents listed below.

Please download and review the  VTRC University RNS Contract Participation Guidance document for information on eligibility and participation. In addition, each Expression of Interest (EOI) must include two required forms: EOI Schedule Template and  EOI Budget Template.
