SPR Part III - State Funded Research Development

General administration funds are used to support top-level management activity (primarily salaries and associated expenses) needed to plan, develop, administer, and review the highway research program that consists of multiple continuing and new projects. Each project requires oversight with periodic reviews to assure success. At times, individual projects require changes in staffing, scope, budget and schedule. Top-level management is responsible for troubleshooting and providing the necessary resources, within the available funding, to meet the research project objectives. This may require adjustments within and between research projects with the approval of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
