The purpose of the 2-day R&D Forum is for public, government, and industry pipeline stakeholders to identify technology and knowledge gaps within certain topic areas. PHMSA then incorporates these areas into our research solicitations. This forum will provide PHMSA leadership and staff with an opportunity to generate a national research agenda and discuss key industry and government challenges with pipeline industry stakeholders. By fostering the exchange of essential information, this discussion will help to improve pipeline safety and protect the environment.

The Pipeline R&D Forum, is a two-day public meeting, including a general Session and five concurrently running working group sessions. The agenda and additional information on the forum will be published on a dedicated meeting web page.
