Graduate Student Paper Contest
For Transportation and Related Topics
Have you written, or in the process of writing, a transportation-related research paper? Consider submitting it to the Transportation Research Forum (TRF) annual student paper contest.
What Could You Win?
The award shall consist of a trip to the TRF 49th Annual Forum (March 17-19, 2008) including waived registration fee, hotel room, round-trip airfare (ticket purchased by TRF), and a commemorative plaque. The winner is expected to attend the entire conference.
What Are the Rules?
- The paper must be written by a student or students enrolled in an academic institution during the Spring and/or Fall 2007 term.
- The paper must concern some aspect of transportation management, planning, economics, or public policy.
- The paper must be no more than 25 double-spaced type-written pages.
- The paper must represent original research (not literature reviews) and not have been published elsewhere.
- Use any approved reference style.
- Cover page must include the paper title, a single spaced 75 word summary/abstract, student's name, phone & e-mail address, and the name of the institution where the student is enrolled.
- Second page should repeat title and abstract but contain no identifying names.
What Is the Chance of Winning?
- TRF is a modest-sized organization, you are probably one of a relatively small number of students who will know about this contest.
- ZERO if you don't submit (much better if you submit an entry).
How Do I Enter My Paper?
- By Feb. 1, 2008, submit
- Four Copies (which will not be returned)
- To: Dr. Richard D. Gritta (TRF Academic VP)
