About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking grant applications for the Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) program, which aims to support fundamental research on what constitutes or promotes responsible and ethical conduct of research (RECR). The program is interested in research addressing ethical issues related to diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, bias, culture, transparency, mentoring, and other interpersonal behaviors in research environments. Proposals from or involving organizations in EPSCoR-eligible jurisdictions, minority-serving institutions, women's colleges, or organizations serving persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged. Proposals that include international collaborations are also encouraged if they enhance the proposed work. The deadline for submitting proposals is December 1, 2025.
Typical award values under this program range from $30,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning 1-5 years. The research is expected to be primarily conducted at academic and research institutions across the United States, with potential for international collaborations.
Synopsis
The Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) program aims to support fundamental research about what constitutes or promotes responsible and ethical conduct of research (RECR). The ER2 program seeks to encourage science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) researchers, practitioners and educators at all career stages to conduct research with integrity and to educate others about RECR. Research questions of interest to the program could address ethical issues involving diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, bias, culture, transparency and mentoring or other interpersonal behaviors in research environments, as well as the following:
- What constitutes responsible and ethical conduct of research (RECR) and why?
- What are the similarities anddifferences between RECR norms in different fields, sectors (for example, academia, industry and non-profit), or locations (states, regions or countries), and what can they learn from one another in terms of promoting ethical research practices?
- Which organizational practices, contexts, and incentives promote ethical and responsible STEM research and why?
- Which practices contribute to establishing and maintaining ethical cultures, and how can these practices be transferred and integrated into other research and learning settings?
Proposals from or involving substantial collaboration with organizations in EPSCoR-eligible jurisdictions,minority-serving institutions, women'scolleges 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. Please see the NSF PAPPG for guidance on international collaborations.
