TRB Webinar: TRB's IDEA Programs: Funding Your Transportation Innovation

On December 9, 2008, TRB conducted a web-seminar or “webinar” that explored TRB’s Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) programs, which provide early-stage funding to for promising but unproven innovations in surface transportation systems. The goal of these programs is to foster ingenious solutions that are unlikely to be funded through traditional means.

The webinar is designed to provide attendees with a better understanding of the three IDEA programs, the level of financial support available under each program, the funding application process, and ways to help make a funding application stand out. The webinar will also preview some of the high-priority research topics that each program hopes to see addressed by applications in the next funding cycle.
