This grant, offered through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration’s (PHMSA) FY 2025 Competitive Academic Agreement Program (CAAP), is for research pursuing innovative solutions to critical pipeline safety and integrity challenges. Funding is available for projects focusing on five key areas. These include evaluating risks from vehicle strikes on aboveground pipeline facilities and developing technologies to prevent human error. Additionally, the program supports research in testing, modeling, and verifying strain capacity in vintage pipelines, advancing non-metallic pipe inspection technologies, and creating acceptable methods for modeling shrouding or obstructions for pressurized liquid releases, specifically liquefied natural gas. The initiative aims to enhance the safety and reliability of national pipeline infrastructure.
