Human Factor Prize Submission Site Now Open
The Human Factors Prize was established in 2010 by Editor-in-Chief William S. Marras. The prize recognizes excellence in HF/E research through an annual competition in which authors are invited to submit papers on a specific topic for that year. The prize carries a $5,000 cash award and consideration of publication of the winning paper in the Society's journal, Human Factors. The award is formally conferred at a special session at the HFES International Annual Meeting, where the recipient presents their work.
The topic for the 2022 Human Factors Prize Competition is: Equity and Inclusivity Eligibility
Submissions must cover original (unpublished) research in the topical area and comply with the requirements in the Human Factors Information for Authors. Review articles are not eligible for the Prize. Any researcher is eligible to submit relevant work; membership in HFES is not required.

Call for Volunteers: Citation of Standards and Best Practices in HFES Publications
Many times over the years, HFES members have told the Executive Council, both directly and in surveys, that connecting the research in HFES publications with practice is a struggle. There are many ways this translation, a strategic goal, could be accomplished. One of them is require that HFES publications cite relevant standards, best practices, etc. This citation requirement only makes sense if relevant standards and best practices can be found. Therefore: Given the educational resources to be provided, can candidate authors of HFES publications (and reviewers of them) find standards/best practices, etc. relevant to an article they are writing (or could write or review)?
We are seeking volunteers from the Society to examine the educational resources that are available to help people find standards. We provide resources to get volunteers started including a report, “Getting Research Into Practice via Standards”. Other resources may be examined as well. Volunteers should select two articles from an HFES Publication (e.g., the Journal, the Proceedings and find the standards / best practices / etc. that are relevant to each of the two articles you examined. A sample reporting template is provided.)
Please consider this request to volunteer with HFES. We appreciate all of the help our members can provide.

HFES Volunteer of the Month: Jules Trippe
Jules Trippe (they/them) works as an applied cognitive scientist for Pacific Science & Engineering Group (PSE) designing human machine interfaces for military and commercial users. Their responsibility is to see that scientific principles and findings from human factors, cognitive science and human-systems integration domains are implemented in designs. A member for three and a half years, Jules enlisted on the spot at their first conference. They were approached by a former president to start an LGBTQ+ Affinity Group. That work lead to the Code of Ethics (reforming identity language) and the COAG (allying with other affinity groups) and the Representatives and Liaisons Committee (teaming with an LGBTQ+ STEM organization). Jules entered the volunteer realm via personal identity (queer) and interest (language). So why HFES? Because it is a realm in which Jules believes they can have an effect, working with folks that have similar interests (HFE) and desires (functional/supportive environment). Jules said, "I have learned so much from the volunteers that I meet with about how things get done in HFES (and beyond). I have also been inspired and supported in my own efforts and consider many of my co-volunteers friends."
