Requests for Proposals
No specific proposals are requested at this time. However, we welcome unsolicited project proposals for consideration at all times and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's Research, Engineering and Standards Committee has developed a list of research needs. The research needs document is meant to serve as a guide to researchers wishing to perform research on concrete materials topics of interest to the ready mixed concrete industry. It does not reflect a guarantee that a partuclar topic will be funded. Please see our Submit a Proposal page for more information, including information on our approval process.
