Faculty and other researchers at Morgan and collaborating personnel of a "matching partner" are invited to submit research proposals that would directly address the theme of the center: Transportation: A Key to Human and Economic Development. The focus of this theme is on "quality of life" areas, such as mobility of labor and the elderly, workforce and access to employment, urban development, equity, environmental, safety and other societal and economic effects and the application of technology to problems in these areas. Collaborating matching partners are expected to provide a large majority of the project funding from a non-federal source. NTC's funding of a project is contingent on successful peer-review of the proposal and a legally binding agreement between Morgan and the matching partner.

The principal investigators of NTC funded projects are required to submit a final technical report in USDOT-specified format at the end of the study period.

Proposals must include within a maximum of 20 pages:

  • Introduction, background to problem and purpose
  • Methodology and detailed research tasks
  • Management plan, including level of student assistance
  • Detailed budget, including principal investigator and student salaries, indirect cost,fringe benefits, travel and other expenses
  • Budget showing shared funding or in-kind contribution from non-federal source
  • Resume of investigator(s)
  • Department chair or director's memorandum of support
