CRSIF Sponsored Research RFP

Overview

CRSI Foundation

The CRSI Foundation continually advances the growth of the steel reinforced concrete industry by investing in education and research.

Research Grants

The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) Foundation sponsors an annual research grant program to carry out basic research needed to advance the steel reinforced concrete industry. The Foundation sponsors research grant awards of $30,000 each at institutions located in the United States or Canada.

Research Needs

The CRSI Graduate Grant Program is focused on sponsoring a wide variety of research projects involving steel reinforcing bars. Reinforcing bars are used in all types of construction: cast-in-place concrete, precast/prestressed concrete, post-tensioned concrete, and reinforced masonry.

Engineering research needs are solicited for the following major areas:

* Structures
* Materials (physical properties, chemistry) and corrosion durability
* Industry practice
* Metallurgical/manufacturing

Eligibility

_You can learn more about this opportunity by visiting the funder's website._

* Projects funded by the CRSI graduate grant program are intended for the exclusive use of supporting a graduate student.
* CRSI limits the amount of institutional overhead that may be charged to 15% of direct costs.
* The proposed research work must clearly elaborate on the research application to the reinforced concrete field and anticipated contributions to the state of the art.
