The Call for Construction effort is intended to:

This document highlights the process NRRA will utilize to help support this effort, and what test sections are available for ideas. Thanks for everyone’s support of NRRA over the last 4.5 years!

The proposals will be examined as received, and each will be examined to ensure they meet the overall goals of NRRA. There are no set deadlines; each proposal will be awarded on its overall merit.
