The opening of the Iowa DOT fall research cycle on November 1, 2021 provides a new opportunity to submit your transportation-related ideas.
 
Submitting your ideas early in the new cycle allows more time for discussion and evaluation and a better chance for further development. Even if you don’t have a submission of your own, you can help others improve their ideas by voting or adding your comments. Feedback for this fall cycle will remain open until March 25, 2022. With three research cycles throughout the year, ideas are always in progress at Iowa DOT research. 
 
Check out the annual research calendar to see the year-round process and check the Ideas site often to find out what new ideas have been submitted.
