Recently, a grazing-incidence insertion device x-ray beam position monitor (GRID-XBPM) was proposed for the intense x-ray beam from the future APS undulators [*]. By combining the function of limiting aperture with the XBPM, it increases the power-bearing capacity of the XBPM and, at the same time, eliminates the problem of relative alignment of the two critical components in the beamline. Furthermore, by imaging the hard x-ray fluorescence footprint on the collimator, the XBPM is immune to the soft x-ray background, and its accuracy is improved at larger gap settings. In addition to these advantages, the GRID-XBPM can also be implemented to measure center-of-mass of the x-ray fluorescence footprint when pinhole-camera-like optics are used for position readout*. This offers a solution for long-standing XBPM design issues for elliptical undulators, which have a donut-shaped power distribution. In this work, we report design progress for the GRID-XBPM for the high-power elliptically polarized undulator planned for the APS intermediate energy x-ray (IEX) beamline. Computer simulation of its performance and experimental tests from a scale model system will also be presented. * B.X. Yang, G. Decker, S. H. Lee, and P.
