Overview

<p>If it is Good for the Engineering Profession, Good for Collaboration, and Good for the Public, the UEF. The United Engineering Foundation advances the engineering arts and sciences for the welfare of humanity. It supports engineering and education by, among other means, making grants.</p> <p>While all proposals meeting the requirements for</p> <ul> <li>U.S. based organizations having 501(c)(3) status,</li> <li>established deadlines, and</li> <li>page limitations</li> </ul> <p>will be considered, certain UEF preferences should be understood by proposers:</p> <ul> <li>Broad-based, interdisciplinary proposals that further the engineering profession as a whole are preferred.</li> <li>Multiple-year proposals are welcome, but funding is awarded for a single year only. Proposals for subsequent years follow procedures identical to that of single-year proposals. No commitment for funding of subsequent years of a multiple-year project should be inferred from funding of a prior year.</li> <li>Projects that are outside “business as usual” of the proposing organization are preferred.</li> <li>Technical research proposals and proposals by individuals are seldom accepted.</li> </ul>

Other Information:<p>The UEF gives between 5 – 10 grants per year totaling nearly $800,000. Proposals are accepted from not-for-profit organizations, individuals, and groups of such entities, once per year.</p> <p>UEF’s 2021 grant process consists of two stages:</p> <ol> <li>Submission of a short 2-page concept paper, by 11:59 p.m. EST May 3, 2021.</li> <li>For those concept papers selected for an invitation, submission of a detailed proposal, by 11:59 p.m. EST August 2, 2021.</li> </ol>
