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.
