Ontario Ministry of Transportation - 2015 Highway Infrastructure Innovation Funding Program (HIIFP)
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has announced the 2015 competition for the Highway Infrastructure Innovation Funding Program (HIIFP) which enourages basic and applied research in transportation infrastructure in Ontario.
This program solicits innovations from institutions to assist the Ontario Government in meeting selected challenges in developing the future of Ontario's transportation infrastructure. The Highway Infrastructure Innovation Funding Program strongly encourages the involvement of undergraduate and graduate research in transportation and infrastructure engineering.
The award provides a total of $1,000,000 for direct and indirect (up to 25%) costs in this year's competition. The ultimate goal of the program is to challenge Ontario's academic community to contribute to transportation infrastructure solutions in a number of areas including traffic operations, intelligent transportation systems, engineering materials, highway design, environmental, geomatics, bridges, construction and maintenance.
Internal Deadline: April 1, 2105 (via My Research On Line - MROL)
Sponsor Deadline: April 10, 2105 (2:30pm EST)
