Through the seed grants, MTI aims to spur collaborative projects that bring together transportation researchers across multiple colleges at UMD to conduct innovative research with broad societal and economic impact. In addition, the grant program is intended to yield at least one major external funding proposal.</p> <p>Researchers selected for grants this year will be investigating a wide range of interdisciplinary topics.

Future MTI seed grant funding opportunities are expected to be announced in the Fall semester annually, starting in the fall of 2019. </p> <p>“We congratulate the winners and encourage those that were not chosen to try again next year,†said MTI’s director, <span>James Clark School of Engineering’s Herbert Rabin Distinguished Professor </span><a href="../../www.lei.umd.edu/index.html">Lei Zhang</a>. “The submitted proposals were of very high quality and making a selection of only six presented a challenge.†</p> <p>“The MTI’s Seed Grant program is designed to make a major contribution to transportation research by fostering new, multidisciplinary collaboration,†Zhang said. “New technologies and approaches, including machine learning, data science, and automation, are opening up exciting new avenues for transportation research. We’re confident that the selected proposals will advance the field, attract major external funding to UMD, and help address real-life transportation issues that people encounter every day, particularly in the highly congested DC-Baltimore region.†</p> <p>Established in April 2018 through the FY2018 Provost’s Initiative, the Maryland Transportation Institute is a research, workforce development, and technology transfer hub with a mission of advancing innovation in the transportation sector and related fields. It leverages the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="../../cattlab.umd.edu/index.html" target="_blank">largest transportation data and data analytics center in the nation</a></span> and a U.S. Department of Transportation-designated <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="../../ntc.umd.edu/index.html" target="_blank">National University Transportation Center</a></span>.
