The National Road Research Alliance (NRRA) has chosen 5 projects for funding through our “Call for Innovation”. The 5 projects were chosen from 23 projects that were submitted for funding consideration. Two of the 5 are concrete and concrete pavement projects, and one is an alternative maintenance treatment:

The Executive Committee (EC) members spent time reviewing each project, and each agency scored and ranked the projects.

Selected applicants will be contacted individually with further information related to their proposal.
