Do You Have a Research Idea?

VT AOT Research Ideas due December 13, 2024

Do you have a Research Idea that can fulfill a Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) need? The AOT Research Program welcomes the submission of research ideas from anyone (AOT staff, potential external researchers, municipalities, RPCs, etc.). Tell us if you have an idea for research that you think the Vermont AOT should fund which can be conducted by a research team on our Qualified Researchers List (QRL). Research ideas for the 2025 cycle are due December 13, 2024.


Research ideas are vetted by AOT managers and must be paired with an AOT Staff Champion who has supervisor approval to go forward. We are looking for 6-24 month long projects that can be conducted with a $50,000-$150,000 award. Ideas will be distributed as Research Problem Statements to our QRL in January. For more details on VT AOT's External Research Process, see our one-page Fact Sheet.

New Qualified Researcher List


We plan to solicit a new Qualified Researchers List (QRL) in early November. Anyone wishing to respond to one of our Research Problem Statements in January must get on the 2025-2029 list. We encourage all: universities, consultants, research institutes, etc. to get on our list. Our Contract Administration is administering the solicitation. Please email emily.parkany@vermont.gov to be alerted when the QRL solicitation is out.
