PERI: Grant and Research Program in Risk Management

The Public Entity Risk Institute's (PERI) Grant and Research Program endeavors to improve the theory and practice of risk management. Much controversy surrounds the appropriate definition of "risk" and "risk management," and PERI does not adhere to any one set of definitions. In general, PERI seeks projects that will help members of its constituent groups anticipate, plan for, and respond to uncertain events and outcomes that may interfere with their ability to continue operations and fulfill their missions.

The areas in which the Board seeks to concentrate funding are (in no particular order or priority):

• Risk Evaluation and Control

• Workers’ Compensation

• Risk Identification and Assessment

• Safety and Health Protection

• Risk Management Best Practices

Deadline: Letter of interest can be submitted at any time.
