Technical Advisory Groups
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and the Missouri Center for Transportation Innovation (MCTI) are establishing Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs) consisting of:
TAGs are formed to govern 11 specific focus areas that touch every aspect of transportation research.
These TAGs distill research ideas from all of MCTI’s network partners, bringing a diverse range of expertise and knowledge to bear upon research needs ideation and synthesis.
The role of TAGs is to:
- Identify critical research needs and build on existing research (both from within MCTI and elsewhere).
- Refine and synthesize research ideas by discussing existing state, national and international research findings and active research projects.
- Collaborate to generate summaries and factual information to help inform MoDOT’s research prioritization.
- Once received from MoDOT, disseminate and encourage responses to Requests for Proposals (RFPs).
- Assist with proposal responsiveness and promote access across MU system campuses and other MCTI stakeholder groups.
- Promote teamwork across campuses and other stakeholder groups, leading to synergistic, qualified teams and robust RFP responses (proposals).
