Subject: Announcing Airport Cooperative Research Program 2020-2021 Graduate Research Award Program
Importance: High

I am writing to make you aware of a wonderful funding opportunity for graduate students interested in applied research that addresses airport and related air transportation system needs.  I hope you will help us to disseminate this information to potential applicants.  Disciplines are wide-ranging and include, but are not limited to:  engineering, computer science, economics, psychology, human factors, safety, management, science, social science and mathematics.  The goal of the research is to help the public sector continue to improve the quality, reliability, safety and security of the U.S. civil aviation system well into the foreseeable future.
 The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), a program of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, offers $12,000 Graduate Research Awards that include mentoring by national experts assigned by the ACRP, facilitation of access to ACRP resources, an expense-paid research presentation at the Transportation Research Board annual meeting in Washington, DC, and publication in the Transportation Research Record.  Students must be supervised by a faculty member and be attending an accredited higher education institution in the U.S. or Canada.  U.S. and Canadian citizens and permanent residents are eligible as are students who have an active student visa throughout the award period.
 The application is made on-line with components including a research proposal, faculty advisor commitment, resume, transcripts, writing sample and other elements.  Applications are due on May 15, 2020.  Ten awards are anticipated for the 2020 - 2021 Academic Year.
For more information, visit http://vsgc.odu.edu/acrpgraduateresearchawards.  The program is managed for the Airport Cooperative Research Program by the Virginia Space Grant Consortium based in Hampton, VA.
Thank you for sharing this information and the attached flyer with anyone who may have an interest.
