UTCM FY08 Projects

More Funding Info

Each year in the fall, UTCM makes a Request for Preliminary Proposals (RFPP) as a first step in the approval process for projects to be awarded for the fiscal year. This fiscal year's deadline for submission was October 1, 2007. Preliminary Proposals were reviewed and ranked by the UTCM Executive Committee and Advisory Board. Based on these rankings and other criteria, Formal Proposals were invited by the UTCM Executive Committee and Director.

The list of projects funded in FY08 appears below. These projects total nearly $1.6M, span all UTCM's focus areas and include projects in research, education and technology transfer. The projects include collaborataive efforts of researchers and students in TTI, five departments/centers at Texas A&M University, three other Texas universities, TxDOT and private industry.
