Submit a Research Needs Statement about transportation and pandemics

As all aspects of transportation deal with the unfolding effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are research needs, gaps, and potential ways to leverage innovation revealing themselves across all modes, systems, and disciplines in transportation.

In keeping with the mission of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide trusted, timely, impartial, and evidence-based information exchange and research, TRB is issuing an urgent and directed call for Research Needs Statements specific to Transportation and Pandemics.

Once these statements are quickly vetted by TRB staff, we plan to make them publicly available for researchers, institutions, and funding agencies to view, build on, and consider as part of future projects. Research Needs Statements to be considered may be posted at TRB's RNS Express.
