Ethics Education in Science and Engineering (EESE)

The Ethics Education in Science and Engineering (EESE) program considers proposals for research and educational projects to improve ethics education in all of the fields of science and engineering that the National Science Foundation (NSF) supports, including interdisciplinary or inter-institutional contexts. Proposals must focus on improving ethics education for graduate students in those fields, or on developing summer post-baccalaureate ethics education activities or activities that transition students from undergraduate to graduate education. The program will entertain proposals in graduate ethics education in science and engineering generally, but is particularly interested in proposals addressing issues involving the international or global context and those addressing issues of intellectual property, including scientific publishing.

Deadline: The full proposal is due April 10, 2007. For more information, visit www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13338&org=NSF&sel_org=NSF&from=fund.
