Description: |
The Highway Infrastructure Innovations Funding Program funds research at Ontario colleges and universities to encourage basic and applied research in transportation infrastructure in Ontario. This program solicits innovations from Institutions to assist the Ministry in meeting its strategic business directions, including climate change; and to encourage undergraduate and graduate research in transportation and infrastructure engineering. The Highway Infrastructure Innovation Funding Program is intended to support and encourage research into highway infrastructure. The Ministry has identified a number of specific topics that offer an opportunity for learning, innovation, and results. To be eligible for funding, HIIFP applications must cover one (or several) of the topics from the following categories: Specific Research Topics or Open Research Topics.
The MTO will also accept and evaluate HIIFP proposals on topics not specified in the Guidelines that the principal researcher considers relevant to highway infrastructure innovation and the Ministry's business needs.
If you choose to submit an HIIFP application from on another research topic, please carefully outline to the Ministry a clear need for the research topic(s) including how its application will enhance MTO practices and business needs. |
