San Jose State University - Silicon Valley Ergonomics Institute (SVEi)
The Silicon Valley Ergonomics Institute (SVEi) is an official unit of the San Jose State University. It was created by an interdisciplinary faculty group in 1992 to address the growing importance of ergonomics, human factors, and safety in industry and in most public and service sector agencies. The objective of the SVEi is to organize and conduct interdisciplinary programs of teaching, research, community service, and development in this emerging professional discipline.
Texas A&M University - National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center in Ergonomics
The purpose of the Ergonomics Center is to provide industry-driven research. The National Science Foundation provides us with a logo, unique status, $50,000 per year contribution for five years, and reduced but continued support thereafter. There are currently eight companies working with us. One of the priorities of the Center is to examine the sometimes limited research behind the coming onslaught of regulations. Active participation by the member companies gives the Center a 'laboratory' in which to conduct large-scale, longitudinal studies across different regions of the country. Another big advantage for participation is the ability of member companies to contract for exclusive or proprietary projects at the low overhead. Each participating company has one vote on the Industrial Advisory Board which prioritizes and selects industry-oriented research projects.

University of California Agricultural Ergonomics Research Center
The Agricultural Ergonomics Research Center at UC Davis brings together a broad-based team of faculty, professionals, and students to study the ergonomics of agricultural work. Efforts are focused on describing ergonomic risk factors as well as design, evaluation, and dissemination of interventions which reduce or eliminate ergonomic risk factors with neutral or positive impact on work productivity. Evaluation strategies include application of advanced ergonomic instrumentation, human performance analysis, and health outcomes surveillance. Work is further guided and assessed by cooperative input from management, labor, and public health professionals. Results are published and shared in a variety of formats. Research is funded by grants from private industry and by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
University of Cincinnati's Biomechanics Ergonomics Research Laboratories
Dedicated to the study of physical and chemical factors that influence human performance at the workplace and natural environment. Several research projects are currently under process, and information will be available about these projects.
University of Nebraska, Lincoln - Center for Ergonomics and Safety Research
The Center for Ergonomics and Safety Research (CESR) was established in 1991 to study and improve the job performance and well-being of people in relation to their job tasks, equipment and environment. At the worksite or in the Center research lab, the ergonomics professionals of the Center for Ergonomics and Safety Research improve worker's job performance and safety. Researchers perform ergonomic evaluations, provide ergonomic training and information, offer specialized ergonomic learning experiences, and conduct basic and applied ergonomic research.
University of California, Berkeley - UCSF/UCB Ergonomics Program
The Ergonomics Program is affiliated with the Center for Occupational and Environmental Health , a University of California umbrella organization that links faculty and research programs with research interest in occupational health from the Berkeley, Davis and San Francisco campuses. The Program's laboratory is located at U.C. Berkeley's Richmond Field Station, a research station administered by the College of Engineering.
University of Cinncinnati - Biomech Ergonomics Resource Tank
The Biomechanics Ergonomics Research Laboratories at the University of Cincinnati are dedicated to the study of physical and chemical factors that influence human performance at the workplace and natural environment. Several research projects are currently under process, and information will be available about these projects.
University of Maryland - Department of Environmental Safety
University of Miami, Ohio - Center for Ergonomic Research
University of Michigan - College of Engineering's Center for Ergonomics
The University of Michigan Center for Ergonomics is a multi-disciplinary organization devoted to education and research in ergonomics, the study of work and the efficiency and safety of human-machine systems.
University of Minnesota - Department of Environmental Health and Safety
University of Louisville - Center for Industrial Ergonomics
The Center for Industrial Ergonomics is an integral unit of the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Louisville. The Center's research and educational activities focus on integrating people, organization and technology at work, and improving quality and productivity through ergonomics and safety management.
University of Pennsylvania - Center for Human Modeling and Simulation
The overall goal of the Center for Human Modeling and Simulation is the modeling and animation of human movement. That central topic drives a number of related research interests covering a broad scope from image synthesis to natural language interfaces.
University of Washington - Back Pain Outcome Assessment Team
University of Wisconsin-Madison - Industrial Engineering
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University - Human Factors Engineering Center
The Human Factors Engineering Center is a consortium of research activities representing the current interests of the Virginia Tech Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering faculty of who are concerned with undergraduate and graduate programs in human factors.
Wright State University - Department of Biomechanical & Human Factors Engineering
The only academic program, nationally, that shares biomedical and human factors engineering as a common mission. Both programs are human centered and are dedicated to support the health, performance, and safety of individuals, whether through design of a new imaging technique by members of our biomedical factulty, or by improving the design of a manufacturing system by our human factors faculty.
Australia

Our mission is to inform community discussion and public policy-making on injury prevention and control, and related issues by providing information to support injury control activities, and improving injury information systems and methods.
Finland
Finnish Institute of Occupational Health
The main purpose of the Institute of Occupational Health is to generate and disseminate new pertinent information on the interaction of work and health, and to promote the application of this information at workplaces to create healthier, safer and more satisfactory working conditions.
Japan
National Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS)
Germany
Research Institute for Human Engineering
The FAT with a current staff of about 50 employees was founded in 1969 by Prof. Dr.-Ing. R. Bernotat. It grew out of the Research Group for Human Engineering at the Institute for Flight-Guidance and Air Traffic in the Technical University of Berlin. In general, the goal of human engineering efforts in systems development is to achieve an efficient design through an appropriate allocation of functions between human and machine system elements and the adaptation of the design of machine elements to the capabilities and limitations of system personnel. In addition to the human engineering contributions to an ergonomic design of complex human-machine systems, there are other aspects of ergonomics including personnel ergonomics (dealing with personnel selection and training) and environmental ergonomics (dealing with environmental factors such as climate, illumination, and noise).
