The objective of this program is to fund designated technology development or enhancement projects through leverage of multiple GTI members' voluntary investment dollars. It works by GTI issuing an annual Customer Allocation Form that list the projects that each gas utility has the option to join and the cost for either level at which to join (regular or field test candidate). Each project has targeted deliverables and the projected value. GTI's Research Collaboration Program is intended to provide the gas industry with innovative methods to voluntarily invest in R&D projects aimed at their particular Company's needs. By teaming participants with common interests, funding is leveraged to provide cost-effective solutions to the gas industry's most pressing problems.GTI also provides a project manager to oversee the specific contractor(s) selected for each project, and the advisory group of cofunding utility representatives.
