This guide outlines the essential steps in transforming innovative ideas into funded research projects within ASHRAE. It explains the process from submitting Research Topic Acceptance Requests (RTAR) or Unsolicited Research Proposals (URP) through to the approval of Work Statements (WS) by the Research Administration Committee (RAC). Key roles of Technical Committees (TC), Task Groups (TG), and other stakeholders are highlighted. With resources available on the ASHRAE Research webpage, this process encourages all members, students, and organizations to engage in impactful research.

From Idea to Funded Project ASHRAE RESEARCH
Starting point Ideas from … TC’s Members Task Groups Companies Students Schools
Ideas are actually called … • RTAR • Research Topic Acceptance Request • Ideas that come from official ASHRAE Channels • URP • Unsolicited Research Proposal • Ideas that come from the general ASHRAE public
Then the paperwork starts and the love of acronyms comes out TRP TC TG SSPCs URPs EHC REF MTGs WS RTAR RAC PAS
Breaking it down It’s really not that complicated • The idea is reviewed by RAC • Worthy of additional work • Already being done • No further work needed • Work Statement is produced
Work Statements • Outlines the Research • Objectives • Funding Ideas/co-sponsorships • Conflicts • Research Activities Subcommittee • Reviews the WS • Forwards to RAC for formal approval
Research Administration Comm. • RAC • Approves Work Statements • Out to bid • Becomes a Request for a Proposal • basically a Research Project
