GetUsPPE Maker Grant

GetUsPPE celebrates the maker community for filling pressing, short-term PPE shortages with innovative designs. We are working to support distributed American DIY manufacturing through our maker grant program. Our maker grant program supports the purchase of raw material supply to make PPE, which helps to bolster the overall domestic PPE supply without contributing to competition between providers for protective equipment.

Are you a maker filling otherwise unmet PPE needs? Access the GetUsPPE Maker Grant here:

Maker Design Submission

We have partnered with the Open Source Medical Supplies (OSMS) group to identify and source the fabrication of open source emergency medical supplies around the world, given a variety of local supply conditions.

If you are interested in submitting a PPE design for inclusion as part of the OSMS Medical Supply Guide, please submit to info@opensourcemedicalsupplies.org. Submit designs for 3d printing to America Makes. Open source designs are being medically and technically reviewed and documented with our healthcare worker’s safety as the number one priority. Once designs are validated as in use and current with regulatory and safety guidance, they will be added in real time to www.GetUsPPE.org/makers to empower Makers and Fabricators to craft open-source alternatives that have the best chance of utility in the hospital setting.
