IEEE Humanitarian Funding Opportunity for COVID-19 Projects

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the world in an unprecedented manner, and as such, the IEEE Humanitarian Activities Committee (HAC) has adapted its requirements to better enable IEEE volunteers to contribute. For that reason, IEEE HAC and SIGHT (Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology) Projects will join forces to prioritize proposals that have a strong potential for immediate impact in the fight against COVID-19. Ideally, projects will have good connections with local IEEE OUs and engage a significant number of IEEE members.

Rolling Submission until until 15 May 2020

Proposals may be submitted and will be reviewed continuously through 15 May. An expedited review process will allow selected projects to get started right away.
