UC Merced and Be Smart About Safety Foundation funds an Ergonomics Matching Funds Program through the ErgoCat - Ergonomics program that offers a funding incentive of 50% of the cost of ergonomic equipment up to a maximum of $1,000 per employee* in matching funds to aid departments in modifying on-campus and remote computer workstations according to ergonomic guidelines for campus and remote computer workstations.
The intent is to incentivize campus departments with financial aid to invest in appropriate ergonomic equipment to prevent and/or minimize the effects of computer-related repetitive motion injuries.
Funding for this program is limited. Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis.
