The Joint Research Program is a cooperative effort between SRP and Arizona State University. The purpose of the program is to pursue research and development projects and to provide research results to electric utilities and to the public. Proposals will be reviewed and awards announced in (approximately) April 2019. Projects should not exceed one year, ending August 31, 2020.
The deadline for proposal submission is Friday, March 15, 2019, by 5 p.m.
A meeting with SRP/ASU is planned for Tuesday, February 5, 2019.
Proposals should be submitted through Professor Paul Westerhoff, School of Sustainable Engineering and The Built Environment Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering Program; or Professor Vijay Vittal, School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering; or Professor Nathan Johnson, The Polytechnic School.
It is anticipated that multiple awards will result from this solicitation.

Preliminary meetings to identify project areas
Preliminary meetings shall be held to identify Joint Research Project areas. At these meetings, SRP engineers will explain potential project areas and needs. ASU researchers who propose projects must collaborate with SRP engineers to develop the project proposal. Potential researchers for these projects should attend a preliminary meeting in the area of interest.
The preliminary meetings for the Joint Research Program shall be on Tuesday, February 5, 2019:
