Second Release of Request for Qualifications for SHRP 2
Safety Project S07: In-Vehicle Driving Behavior Field Study
Release Date: September 30, 2008
Proposal Due Date: November 11, 2008
This second request seeks the qualifications of potential data collection contractors and the characteristics of sites in the southern United States that they recommend for the SHRP 2 large-scale naturalistic driving study focusing on driver behavior. Responses to an earlier RFQ did not include sites located in the southern portion of the country, so the current RFQ is focused on filling this gap. For this reason, responses to this RFQ will only be accepted for sites located in these states:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.

The SHRP 2 Web site now offers a way for researchers to indicate their interest in teaming
with others to collaborate on proposals for SHRP 2 research. The Contractor Expression of Interest
form allows organizations to list information about their qualifications, interests, and facilities. The list is solely for the benefit of proposers;
SHRP 2 does not verify or use the information in any way.
News and announcements associated with SHRP 2 and other parts
of TRB are regularly included in TRB’s e-newsletter. The e-newsletter is a
free, weekly electronic service designed to keep subscribers up-to-date on the
activities of TRB and on selected transportation research activities taking
place at the federal, state, academic, and international levels.
