The National Science Foundation is inviting grant applications for research and educational projects to improve graduate-level (and potentially advanced undergraduate) ethics education in all supported fields of science and engineering, especially within interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, or international contexts.
 
Proposals must focus on improving ethics education for graduate students in those fields or on developing summer post-baccalaureate ethics education activities or other activities that transition students from undergraduate to graduate education. Proposals should contribute to a theory of ethics education in science and engineering: one that addresses the individual motivators, societal incentives, and cultural beliefs that lead to ethical dilemmas. EESE invites proposals for research or education projects, and combinations of the two.
