Opportunity Summary:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funding opportunity titled "Ethics in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Online Resource Center" (NSF 10-547) is a discretionary competition intended to make a single cooperative agreement award to one multidisciplinary team to build and run a national online resource center focused on ethics across NSF-supported fields. The core aim is to create a central, high-quality, web-based hub that not only collects and organizes existing ethics-related materials, but also produces new knowledge and practical, interactive tools that help researchers, educators, and trainees integrate ethical reasoning into both research practice and teaching. Importantly, NSF defines "science, mathematics, and engineering" broadly for this program, explicitly including the social sciences along with the full range of disciplines NSF supports.
The envisioned resource center is meant to be more than a static library of documents. NSF emphasizes that it should be creative, comprehensive, easy to access, and continuously evolving. In practical terms, that means the awardee is expected to implement strategies to keep content current and useful over time, such as regular updating, active curation, and mechanisms for incorporating new developments in research ethics, emerging technologies, and changes in norms or policy. The center should help scientists and engineers engage with ethical issues as a normal part of professional work, with resources that can support pedagogy (for example, curriculum modules, teaching cases, or instructional guidance) as well as research activities (for example, decision tools, best-practice summaries, or frameworks for ethical analysis).
The competition is structured to support a team-based, cross-disciplinary approach, reflecting NSF's expectation that effective ethics resources draw from multiple perspectives and areas of expertise. The funded team is expected to gather and synthesize existing information, identify gaps where new work is needed, and develop interactive resources that encourage real use rather than passive reading. The overall result should be an authoritative and practical online destination that helps people in NSF-relevant fields recognize ethical dimensions of their work and apply ethical reasoning in concrete situations.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted March 9, 2010, with a required letter of intent due April 30, 2010, and a full proposal deadline of June 3, 2010. NSF anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding level of $5,000,000, and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of applicant entity could apply, subject to any additional eligibility details in the full solicitation. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial NSF involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant. The opportunity is tied to multiple NSF CFDA program areas, spanning Engineering (47.041), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (47.049), Geosciences (47.050), Computer and Information Science and Engineering (47.070), Biological Sciences (47.074), Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (47.075), Education and Human Resources (47.076), and the Office of International Science and Engineering (47.079), underscoring its cross-cutting, foundation-wide scope.
For access issues with the announcement, the listing directs applicants to NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov, and references NSF Publication 10-547 as the official solicitation document.
