Participate in the 2023 International Annual Meeting "Posters With Fellows" Showcase
The genesis behind this session was to give HFES members and students the opportunity to interact with some of the most distinguished colleagues the Society has to offer in a low-key setting. There is no review process for this invited session — just let us know you want to participate, show up with your poster, and enjoy!
The goal is to raise the profile of the Fellows and give students and your HF/E colleagues an opportunity to interact with the thought leaders of our profession.

University Lab Posters Call for Submissions
HFES invites university labs conducting research on human factors and ergonomics to display a poster at the HFES 67th International Annual Meeting. University laboratories conducting work in HF/E research and application are invited to take part in the HFES University Lab Showcase at our annual meeting in Washington, D.C. The aim of this showcase is to demonstrate the variety of HFE educational and research programs, not to describe specific research projects. A limited number of spaces are available.
To reserve space to display your university's HF/E lab, submit your intent via the online form no later than 11:59 p.m. EDT on September 1, 2023.

The Human Factors Journal Expands to Twelve Annual Issues
Starting January 2024, Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, will publish twelve annual issues, up from eight, and substantially increase the length of each issue. This expansion will greatly reduce the time to publication and allow the journal to increase dissemination of research articles.
Human Factors Editor-in-Chief, Rob Radwin, said, “The long lead time between when an article is posted online until it is published exceeds two years. This has been a concern for authors, limits public access, and prevents wide dissemination of peer-reviewed research to the scientific community at large.” The delay particularly impacts tenure-track faculty who must create a track record of publications in a limited time, and it impairs the productivity of authors who rely on publication track records for promotions and recognition. The page count increase will start immediately for the remaining issues published this year.

FPE 2023-2024 Impact Grants
The Foundation for Professional Ergonomics (FPE) is pleased to announce the availability of the FPE Impact Grants that aim to support small projects in the quest of developing professional ergonomics around the world. The funding preference will be given, but not limited to, applicants from developing countries (as defined by United Nations) or proposals that help develop or grow professional ergonomics in the developing countries. The FPE Impact Grants are intended as seed funding for small (pilot) projects that could potentially lead to but are not required, more extensive funding opportunities from other sources in the future. The expected budget of a single proposal should be between $500 and $2,000 and must not exceed $2,500 USD.
The deadline for submission is June 30, 2023, with awards decision announced by August 15, 2023. Proposals should be sent to Waldemar Karwowski, wkarwowski@gmail.com, with a copy to Harvey Cohen, harvey@erroranalysis.com.
