Pilot Program for Disseminating Instructional Materials on Ethical Issues in Science

该奖项为一个试点项目提供部分支持，该项目旨在通过西格玛·习在大学校园举办的研讨会的机制，开发和传播关于科学伦理问题的教学材料。Sigma Xi，科学研究会，有518个分会，其中大部分位于美国的高校。这一支助将使一个小型高级别规划和重点问题讲习班得以举行，随后将举行一个较大规模的试点传播讲习班。两人都将关注科学技术中的伦理问题，从研究伦理问题到科学、工程和技术的社会影响问题。可用作课程作业基础的材料将提供给其他学术机构。西格玛习设想在未来资金可能允许的情况下，举办更多的传播研讨会。

This award provides partial support for a pilot program to develop and disseminate instructional materials on ethical issues in science via the mechanism of Sigma Xi sponsored workshops on university campuses. Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, has 518 chapters, most of which are located at US colleges and universities. This support will allow a small, high-level workshop for planning and issue-focusing to occur, to be followed by a larger-scale pilot dissemination workshop. Both will focus on ethical issues in science and technology, ranging from issues of research ethics to issues of the social implications of science, engineering, and technology. Materials that can be used as foundations for coursework will be made available to other academic institutions. Sigma Xi envisages further dissemination workshops, as future funds may allow.
