Fields

Limited Submission Opportunity 

The United Engineering Foundation (UEF) Grant Program 

Number of slots: 2  

Internal Deadline: April 11th, 2025  

Full Proposal Deadline: May 1st, 2025 

The Award & Eligibility Criteria 

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. The UEF gives between 5 – 10 grants per year totaling nearly $800,000. 

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. 

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. 

Guidance for the Nomination Process 

An internal competition will be held to assign two slots. Interested PIs should submit a 2-page project description and C.V. in OpenWater by 5pm on April 11th, 2025, here: https://slu.secure-platform.com/a/solicitations/202/home 

A SLU faculty selection committee will review and select the most suitable applicants and notify all applicants of the outcome by April 16th 2025, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
