We are defining ethics broadly: we see ethics as our norms of behavior guiding how we treat one another, our environment, and our institutions. We recognize that ethics are normative, grounded in rationality, religious beliefs, our understanding of nature and natural law. Each person has a set of ethical beliefs.
The Ethics Institute Research Fellows Grant Program provides funding for MSU-affiliated investigators to pursue small, focused projects that have the potential to improve understanding of ethical dimensions and ethical practice in a specific field.
While many types of projects will be considered, the program prioritizes projects that enable awardees to generate sufficient progress needed for successful applications for external funding and/or published research work. Work that contributes to institutional transformation at MSU and other institutions is also welcome. There will be three grants awarded for the fall of 2025.
There will be another call for proposals in the spring of 2026 for three grants. This information is being distributed to deans, directors and chairs as well as faculty and academic staff. Please share the opportunity with others, as appropriate.
Up to $15,000 per grant for one year • Course buy-out (for the following semester) Please note that the funds need to be expended within a year of the award. The awarded research fellows will engage in two meetings (one hour each) to collaborate with other fellows, once in the fall semester and once in spring semester.
The spring semester will highlight the progress of the work to a broader audience (MSU administration, Ethics Institute, donors, etc.). Awardees agree to provide regular updates throughout the year. A research manuscript or case study and a blog/news story/podcast highlighting the findings will be submitted.
