This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and evaluate innovative training approaches to enhance ethical decision-making skills among early-career researchers in the social sciences. The $150,000 project, awarded to the University of Texas at Arlington, will create text and video-based ethical dilemmas relevant to social science research and incorporate real-time expert feedback to improve the ethical reasoning competencies of graduate students and advanced undergraduates. The research team will compare the effectiveness of different computer-based training procedures, with the goal of sharing the most successful approaches for widespread use across academic and professional communities. This project seeks to improve the integrity and responsibility of research practices not only in the social sciences, but also to serve as a model for innovative ethics instruction practices across disciplines, ultimately benefiting society through more professionally sound scientific practices.
