Proposal Selection

Submitted Proposals are initially evaluated through an administrative review. During this review, RTI staff determines whether:

All researchers on the proposed teams are eligible to participate in the program.

Each proposal is complete enough to be deemed responsive.

Each proposal meets any specific constraint or limitation specified in the RFP.

Proposals are then sent to the TxDOT PMCs to have the technical criteria evaluated. Proposals are rated against the criteria and described needs of a Project Statement. The Project Review Board then meets and decides which proposals will be awarded.
