The California Air Resources Board (ARB) is soliciting brief
research ideas from the general public as part of the process of
developing the 2018-2019 Annual Research Plan.  Although ARB
accepts research ideas year round, August 7, 2017 is the deadline
for submissions to be considered for inclusion in ARB’s 2018-2019
Research Plan development.  

Research ideas are limited to 300 words and should very clearly
articulate why the idea is relevant to ARB’s policies and/or
programs. It should include clearly stated research objective(s),
a very brief description of methods that could or would be
employed, and what the final product or deliverable of the
research would be. Information on time and funding needed to
conduct the research is helpful but not required. You may wish
to review ARB’s programs or previous research plans.  Only ideas
that clearly demonstrate policy relevance to ARB will be
considered.

Researchers may reference the 2017-2018 Annual Research Plan that
was approved by the Board on April 27, 2017. This Plan includes
background on the research program’s goals, past research
highlights, and information on current research initiatives. More
information on ARB’s research planning process and copies of
Annual Research Plans can be found at:

ARB’s research idea submission website at:

later than August 7, 2017, 5:00 pm PST.
