Project Outputs • Definition: • The direct,tangible products of your research work • Examples: • Technologies or techniques: • Inventions, patent applications & licenses • Databases, models • Software/netware • Educational aids or curricula • Instruments, or equipment • Does NOT include: • Information dissemination tools (reports, journal papers/publications, conference presentations, webinars, etc.) • Academic performance measures (courses offered, research projects funded, graduated students, etc.)

  5. Project Outcomes • Definition: • the impacts and influences of your research outside the academic world • Examples: • Deployment of a new technology or technique • Adoption of a new or improved practice or procedure by the transportation industry • Quantifiable impacts on safety, economy, environment, infrastructure resilience, etc. • Cited/documented impacts on decision-making, policies, or legislation

  6. Submitting Information on Project Outputs & Outcomes • Provide specific, concise, written descriptions, including quantitative evidence if available (one sentence to a couple of paragraphs in length) • Active UTC grants: • Submit outputs/outcomes in your PPPR reports, or to research.hub@dot.gov • Past UTC grants: • Submit outputs/outcomes to research.hub@dot.gov • Submission format:
