The
NSF Ethics Education in Science and Engineering (EESE) program accepts
proposals for research and educational projects to improve ethics education in
all of the fields of science and engineering that NSF supports, especially in
interdisciplinary or inter-institutional contexts. Proposals must focus on
improving ethics education for graduate students in those fields, although the
proposed programs may benefit advanced undergraduates in addition to graduate
students.

Limit
on Number of Proposals per Organization:
An
eligible organization, as defined above, may submit only one proposal as the
lead organization.
Internal
Competition: Because
NSF limits an institution to one proposal as the lead organization, the
University of Kentucky has established an internal selection process.
Individuals interested in submitting to this program are to submit the
following material electronically to the Office of the Vice President for
Research at vpr@email.uky.edu and a copy to their
Associate Dean for Research by Wednesday, February 1, 2012:
•
The
names and departments of the Principal Investigator, project personnel,
partners, and collaborators;
•
A
statement of the project goals and type of project proposed (i.e., education,
research or combination of the two);
•
A
project description (1-2 p. max.) - Education projects are to include a)
the overall project methods, strategies and activities, including plans to
assure participation and b) plans for evaluation and assessment. Research
projects are to include a) description of the research question(s)
investigated and possible impact on ethics education for graduate students in
science or engineering and b) a research plan describing methods and
activities.
A committee will be appointed to review the
information and make recommendations as to the University’s submission.
The NSF deadline is March 1, 2012.
Questions about the submission process may be sent to Ms. Annette Evans in
the Office of the Vice President for Research (alevan4@email.uky.edu
or 257-1663).
