Attached is a Project Summary Form for which RTI is requesting proposals
for a research project to start in FY 2013.  Please ensure that all
interested individuals within your university receive a copy of this
Request for Proposal (RFP) package. You do not need to assign an RMC
number. ****

*NOTE:*  This project is different from other projects executed through the
TxDOT Research Program. We strongly encourage partnerships with other
academics at your university. Below are a few suggested programs to involve:

Fitness and Wellness****

University Health Services/Centers****

Physical Health Education****

Kinesiology****

Sports Management****

*Eligible Proposers* - Proposals will be accepted only from Texas
state-supported colleges and universities.  Partnerships with other
entities will be considered only when the appropriate expertise is not
available at a Texas state-supported college or university.  Proposals
selected where the research team includes any member with "seriously late"
deliverables as defined in Rick Collins 1/4/12 letter (attached), will only
be executed when the member with "seriously late" deliverables is removed
from the research team, or, the overdue deliverables have been received at
RTI, whichever occurs first.****

** **

*Proposal Instructions* - Refer to Chapter 3 (RFP) and Chapter 4 (Proposal
Requirements) of RTI's University Handbook, December 2010. The Handbook is
available at:
ftp://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/library/pubs/gov/university_handbook.pdf.
****

** **

*Proposal Submission & Forms* - Please have your researchers coordinate
proposal submission to RTI through your office, to ensure all requirements
are met and current forms are used.  Attached for your convenience is a
file containing the current RTI forms.****

** **

*Proposals received after the deadline will not be accepted.*
Responsibility for ensuring the timely arrival of proposals rests with the
university.  Failure on the part of fax (including a busy signal) or e-mail
equipment will not be reasons for acceptance of a proposal after the
proposal deadline.  Email submissions will be considered received in RTI if
we can obtain documented evidence that a proposal was sent to the email
address below and was received by TxDOT's internet mail server before the
deadline.****
