The NSTC's National Transportation Science and Technology Strategy, issued in April 1997, has four key elements: Strategic Planning and Assessment, Partnership Initiatives, Enabling Research, and Education and Training. This Transportation Strategic Research Plan addresses the Enabling Research element. It incorporates R & D activities with clear potential relevance to one or more transportation modes or functions, regardless of the objectives for which it is conducted or the performing agency. Enabling research includes activities described under three Federal budget categories. For civil agencies, these are Basic Research, Applied Research, and Development. The comparable Defense Department terms are 6.1 (Basic Research), 6.2 (Applied Research), and 6.3 (Advanced Technology Demonstration).
This report examines materials research programs across all operating Administrations within the U.S. Department of Transportation. It is the department's first report on ongoing and planned research and technology efforts in advanced materials. The report was published in support of the Administration's initiative to establish an integrated program of research designed to enhance the performance and longevity of the Nation's transportation infrastructure. It is intended to provide the department's customers with a consolidated report of materials-related research projects. The report highlights opportunities for joint research and near-term applications of advanced materials technologies.
