In 2009 the Board of Trustees approved eight grants for 2010 that together responded to a broad set of needs of the engineering profession. These grants, actually funded in 2010 totaled $608,000, are as follows:

1. $100,000 to AIME, with ASCE, ASME, AIChE and IEEE as partners, to further expand the accessibility for the Emerging Leaders Alliance.
2. $75,000 to WGBH to support the development of DESIGN SQUAD: Nates Roadtrip, phase IV of the PBS engineering television series targeted to 9 to 12-year olds and designed to attract them to engineering.
3. $115,000 to AIChE as the principal grantee for a number of societies to further the project entitled "Dialogues Across Discipline Borders: Implementing Technologies for Carbon Management."
4. $100,000 to ASME to support a joint effort with a number of other societies to provide online collaboration, tools, resources, expertise and forums with the goal of helping underserved communities to find solutions to basic needs.
5. $38,000 to ASME to support a collaborative effort among a number of engineering societies including ASCE, AIChE, ASME and IEEE-USA to host the Engineering Public Policy Symposium in 2010.
6. $40,000 to JETS to expand the affiliate program with the ultimate goal of helping students realize their potential for engineering and discover career opportunities an engineering major provides.
7. $40,000 to the National Institute for Engineering Ethics, Texas Tech University, for the development, assessment and distribution of "Henry's Daughters", an educational movie on engineering and ethics.
8. $100,000 to AIChE as the principal grantee for a number of societies to enable the development and demonstration of a pilot program for a web-enabled, biological engineering laboratory.
   

In mid-year, the Grants Committee reviewed 32 concept papers totaling nearly $3.3 million and invited 12 full proposals for consideration. The Committee reviewed the resulting proposals and then submitted a prioritized list to the full Board of Trustees for review and approval. The Board approved funding eight proposals in 2011 for a total of $687,500 as follows:

1. $147,000 to AIME, with ASCE, ASME, AIChE, and IEEE as
   partners, to fund the Carbon & Energy Management Technology Conference (using the Off- shore Technology Conference model) and the Carbon Management Project.
2. $50,000 to WGBH to support the development of DESIGN SQUAD: Invent It, an integrated multi-media project of the PBS engineering television series targeted to 9 to 12-year olds and designed to attract them to engineering.
3. $38,000 to ASME to support a collaborative effort among a number of engineering societies including ASCE, AIChE, ASME and IEEE-USA to host an Engineering Public Policy Symposium in 2011
4. $100,000 to Engineers Week as a leadership grant for the National Engineers Week Future City Competition: The New Generation for the development of a new portal and new curriculum learning blocks.
5. $150,000 to ASME with IEEE and Engineers Without Borders to support a joint effort to produce an Engineers for Change Knowledge Repository, an on-line platform from key partners databases.
6. $65,000 to AIChE to support a collaborative effort of the Engineers Forum on Sustainability to build an interdisciplinary outreach network for sustainable development for the engineering community.
7. $47,000 to AIME, with ASCE, ASME, AIChE and IEEE as partners, to further expand the accessibility for the Emerging Leaders Alliance by development of on-demand, online content.
8. $90,500 to the University of Houston to formulate and implement a sustainable public radio program of "Invenciones de Nuestra Inventiva" employing KUHF's "Engineers of Our Ingenuity".
