NSF: Ethics Education in Science and Engineering

Colleagues, I am sharing this because some of you may have an interest in ethics education in STEM fields, and may have been, or currently are, collaborating with colleagues in STEM on these issues. If you are not, but are interested, let me know. Since this is a limited submission program, NCSU can only submit one proposal, so I suspect that any initiative NCSU undertakes will be interdisciplinary.

The National Science Foundation has announced the Ethics Education in Science and Engineering program.  The limit is one lead proposal per institution.  Non-lead proposals are unlimited.  The program is designed to "deepen the understanding of ethical dilemmas in science and engineering, and provide cutting edge, effective research and educational materials to train the next generation of scientists and engineers." 

 

Award:  Up to $300,000 over up to three years
