MHIA/CICMHE Research Funding
The Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) through its College Industry Council on Material Handling Education (CICMHE) is dedicated to the support of material handling and facility logistics (MH/FL) research and teaching. The industry seeks to develop the faculty of tomorrow by supporting research today that focuses on topics important to development of the industry. To meet this objective, MHIA solicits proposals for material handling and facility logistics focused research projects to be conducted by academic institutions. Please see below for a summary of previous funding awards or for the latest Call for Proposals.

The current 2012 solicitation for the direct funding of research grants is being suspended until committee work is complete to determine the best way to invest MHIA resources to encourage research focused on the industry. Proposals should not be submitted until a new call for proposals is issued. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, contact Mike Ogle at CICMHE (mogle@mhia.org, 704-676-1190).
