Ten universities are receiving roughly $100,000 worth of cooperative agreements from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) Education Connection initiative. The program is designed for universities to incorporate SHRP2 Solutions programs into their current transportation curricula.

“These cooperative agreements provide an opportunity to incorporate SHRP2 products into transportation coursework, bringing state-of-the-practice solutions into the classroom,” the Federal Highway Administration and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials said in a statement. “Each university will incorporate one or more SHRP2 products into its current transportation curriculum, including a broad spectrum of products from the Renewal, Capacity, and Reliability focus areas.”

The 10 universities and the SHRP2 Solutions programs to be incorporated include:
