Eligibility Criteria
The UEF Board of Trustees evaluates and judges proposals in view of the UEF mission, the perceived ability of the proposal and proposer(s) to further that mission, and the available funding. Proposals are accepted only from U.S. based organizations classified by the Internal Revenue Service as having 501(c)(3) status. While all proposals meeting the requirements for
- U.S. based organizations having 501(c)(3) status,
- established deadlines, and
- page limitations
will be considered, certain UEF preferences should be understood by proposers:
- Broad-based, interdisciplinary proposals that further the engineering profession as a whole are preferred.
- 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.
- Projects must be performed ONLY between January and December of the specific “Grant Year.”
- Projects that are outside “business as usual” of the proposing organization are preferred.
- Technical research proposals and proposals by individuals are seldom accepted.
