Background
Beginning with Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), Congress created the National Cooperative Research and Evaluation Program (NCREP) to be administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and jointly managed by GHSA and NHTSA. Funding is set at $2.5 million and is withheld from the Section 402 grant program each Federal Fiscal Year (FFY). Project selection began in FFY 2014 and continues annually.
From FFY 2014 through FFY 2017 the program was administered by NHTSA with assistance from the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. Beginning in FFY 2018, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine’s Transportation Research Board (TRB) manage the research activities. The name of the program was changed to BTSCRP in 2017 to clarify its purpose and to distinguish it from other TRB research programs.
