69C H A P T E R 7 Development of Requests for ProposalsPhase 2 Process Once the ranked list of proposed research areas that had been prepared in the project's first phase was approved by the SHRP 2 committee, the research team was authorized to develop specific research plans based on these proposed areas of interest. During the project's second phase, the research team studied the best way to implement each research topic in terms of specific project descriptions that could be issued within the funding levels and time period allocated for this effort by the SHRP 2 program.
