Subject: Requirement for Semi-Annual Progress Reports (SAR)<br>
<br>
Dear University Liaisons - This email is to notify you of a RTI
program policy change. We will no longer be requiring Semi-Annual
Progress Reports on Research and Implementation Projects. This is
effective immediately.<br>
<br>
RTI is reviewing our Program/Project Management process and we have
decided that requesting SARs are not beneficial in regards to the
format, and the information being requested and provided. If a different
format or management tool is developed that requires input from the
university, we will work with you accordingly.<br>
<br>
Please contact Sylvia R. Medina at <a href="tel:%28512%29%20416-4740" value="+15124164740">(512) 416-4740</a> if you have any questions.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank You.<br>
<br>
Rick Collins, P.E.<br>
TxDOT<br>
Director, Research and Technology Implementation Office<br>
