The development and release of RFPs will occur starting in March 2012 with proposals due in May and June 2012. (******IMPORTANT NOTE: Subsequent to issuing the abovementioned Announcement and the panel solicitation below, FY 2012 TCRP funding was reduced by approximately 35% during the FY 2012 federal appropriations process. As a result, a process is underway to revise the FY 2012 research program to reflect this reduced funding.  This may impact the funding allocations and/or projects may be eliminated.  Information will be provided upon the conclusion of this process.****)
