I have a great idea for a pooled fund project and plan to convince various state officials to support their states participation. How do I make this happen?
A study must be proposed by a State or the FHWA to be included in the formal Transportation Pooled Fund Program. A State would propose the establishment of a pooled fund study to the FHWA [Associate Administrator for Research Development Technology (HRPD-01), Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center, Federal Highway Administration, 6300 Georgetown Pike, McLean, Virginia 22101]. Part of the process is a review by a knowledgeable FHWA technical staff member and continued involvement of FHWA staff on the Technical Advisory Committee overseeing the study. Once established, State-led pooled fund studies are usually conducted under contracts awarded in accordance with State acquisition regulations and managed by the State. FHWA uses Federal acquisition regulations, which include considering proposals through a competitive process, before selecting a research contractor to conduct the pooled fund study.
