United Engineering Foundation invites concept papers for engineering projects

The United Engineering Foundation (UEF) is the successor organization to the United Engineering Society, which was founded in 1904 with the generous support of Andrew Carnegie. Today, UEF works to advance the engineering arts and sciences for the welfare of humanity.

To that end, the foundation invites concept papers for its grants program. Through the program, grants will be awarded in support of proposals and programs consistent with the mission of UEF and include programs that focus on advancing engineering. The UEF gives up to 10 grants per year, totaling nearly $800,000.

Broad-based, interdisciplinary proposals that further the engineering profession are preferred, as are projects outside the “business as usual” of the proposing organization. Technical research proposals and proposals by individuals are seldom accepted.

Applicants must be based in the United States and be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Concept papers are due May 1, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. ET, and selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal by August 1, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. ET.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the United Engineering Foundation website.

Deadline: May 1, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. ET (Concept Papers)
