  • Funding Opportunities through the Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) Program at the NSF presented by an NSF program officer – October 10, 2023 @ 11-12 pm

    Overview: The goal of this virtual presentation is to introduce the audience to the Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) Program at the National Science Foundation. Research projects funded by the ER2 Program 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. The presentation will include a brief history of the ER2 program, and a brief description of the types of proposals that are supported by the program and the merit review process. A portion of the time will be set aside to address questions from the audience.
