-Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs): Two- and four-year IHEs (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Special Instructions for International Branch Campuses of US IHEs: If the proposal includes funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a US institution of higher education (including through use of sub-awards and consultant arrangements), the proposer must explain the benefit(s) to the project of performance at the international branch campus, and justify why the project activities cannot be performed at the US campus.

*Who May Serve as PI:

Proposals must include project teams with appropriate expertise. This might include expertise in the STEM domains on which the project focuses, or in ethics, values, evaluation, and pedagogy.

Additional Information

Agency Name: U.S. National Science Foundation
Description: Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) research projects use fundamental research to produce knowledge about what constitutes or promotes responsible or irresponsible conduct of research and why, as well as how to best instill responsible conduct of research into researchers, practitioners, and educators at all career stages. In some cases, projects will include the development of interventions or applications to ensure ethical and responsible research conduct.

The program funds research projects that identify:

(1) factors that are effective in the formation of ethical science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) researchers;

(2) approaches to developing those factors in all STEM fields that NSF supports; and

(3) why and how those factors and approaches increase responsibly conducted research.

Proposals from or involving substantial collaboration with minority-serving institutions, women’s colleges, or organizations primarily serving persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged. Proposals that include international collaborations are encouraged if the unique resources, expertise, facilities, or locations of international partners enhance the merit of the proposed work. International partners are required to find non-NSF funding. Please see NSF’s PAPPG for further guidance on international collaborations.
