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.

该奖项为一个试点项目提供部分支持，该项目旨在通过Sigma Xi赞助的大学校园研讨会机制，开发和传播有关科学伦理问题的教学材料。 科学研究学会（Sigma Xi）有518个分会，其中大部分位于美国的学院和大学。 这一支助将使一个小型的高级别讲习班能够进行规划和集中讨论问题，随后将举办一个较大规模的试验性传播讲习班。 两者都将重点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。 可用作课程基础的材料将提供给其他学术机构。 Sigma XI设想在未来资金允许的情况下举办进一步的传播研讨会。
