Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure Opens 2026 Technical Assistance Program (TAP) Applications

WASHINGTON - Rezul -- ISI is excited to announce the launch of the third year of its Technical Assistance Program (TAP), designed to help small and economically distressed communities develop projects that are more sustainable, resilient, and equitable. Through TAP, project teams work with sustainability experts and academic partners to apply the Envision Sustainable Infrastructure Framework, gaining the tools and guidance needed to improve project performance and pursue verification.

Through this program, ISI seeks to address barriers many communities face in accessing sustainability expertise and verification resources by providing training, technical support, and collaborative learning opportunities for infrastructure projects.

Since the program's inception, TAP projects have spanned a wide range of infrastructure solutions and types including civil, transportation, bridge design, water treatment, flood control, and energy production. The program was designed with a global reach, and beginning with the initial pilot project in Ethiopia, there have been projects in Kenya, Colombia, Zambia, Puerto Rico, and California. TAP participants have been supported by academic subject matter experts from institutions that include Rice University (Texas), California Polytechnic State University (California), UTICA (New York), and Syracuse University (New York).

This year, TAP is once again seeking applications from public infrastructure projects located in small or economically distressed communities that are in the planning or early design stages. Projects should be interested in improving sustainability, resilience, and equity outcomes, and in pursuing Envision verification. TAP continues to help successful applicants build local capacity for sustainable infrastructure, enhance long-term project performance, access expertise often unavailable to smaller communities, and advance toward third-party verified sustainability outcomes using Envision.

Selected projects receive a range of benefits. These include waived registration and verification fees for one project, access to Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP) training and credentialing credits, preliminary assessments, bi-weekly cohort sessions, and opportunities for presentations or publications.

Through TAP, ISI has developed an important pathway for equitable access to verification resources — enabling projects to apply sustainability principles to achieve a bigger impact, while also creating exciting opportunities for postsecondary student learning on real-world projects. Details.

ISI and Envision

ISI is an education and research nonprofit working to advance sustainable, equitable, and resilient infrastructure through the Envision sustainability framework. Envision guides and assesses the sustainability and resilience of all types of infrastructure. It is a comprehensive tool created to assist agencies, municipalities, consultants, contractors, and operators, in planning, designing, and delivering more sustainable infrastructure projects. The Envision framework is a decision-making tool that allows project teams to evaluate projects across a broad range of sustainability indicators, or "credits," that address environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability to encourage systemic change. At its core, Envision is about supporting higher performance through better choices in infrastructure development.
