Georgia Department of Transportation Request for Research Needs Statements (RNS)

The 2022 Georgia Department of Transportation call for Research Needs Statements RNS submission portal will open August 22^nd, 2022, and will remain open through September 23^rd, 2022 at 5:00 PM EST*.

Developing an effective Research Need Statement (RNS) is critical to successfully undertaking research with GDOT. An RNS is the basic means of initiating a GDOT research project and is required for all research supported through the core GDOT research program. An RNS also represents the basic means of communicating a research need to GDOT technical staff, decision-makers, and sponsoring offices and should be written with all of these groups in mind. An RNS must contain clear statements of need, approach, benefits, and implementation potential. Potential submitters are highly encouraged to review RNS guidelines and relevant other documents on the GTI website prior to submission.
