With Spring in the air the Transportation Research Board committees and
subcommittees are making their plans for the annual meeting. For many of
them one the activities is to issue Calls for Research papers focused on
topics that the committee is interested in. With Public Health being one
of the three critical issue areas for the 2017 Annual Meeting the Health
and Transportation Subcommittee worked with several other committees on
a suite of health related calls for research papers. They include;
* Impact of Freight on Public Health
* Transportation and Environmental Health Governance
* Critical Issues Associated with Arterials (Major Roads) and Public
Health
* Data, Methods, and Models to Integrate Transportation and Public Health
All four of the Calls can be found on the Subcommittee's website at
http://www.trbhealth.org/ or on the TRB website by signing in through
your MyTRB account (
https://annualmeeting.mytrb.org/CallForPapers/index)
All papers for publication and/or presentation must be submitted by
August 1, 2016. Only complete papers, conforming to TRB standards and
format will be considered. Papers may also be submitted for presentation
only. Each paper will be peer-reviewed according to TRB procedures. TRB
paper specifications and information on how to submit can be found
online at
