The Center for Ethical and Socially Responsible Leadership will be offering programming to complement what Broad College of Business students are learning in the classroom. We will be working with our esteemed faculty to offer extracurricular programming for students as well as offering professional development opportunities for faculty around integrating ethics and social responsibility into curriculum across the college.

Matching Grant Speaker Series
The purpose of the Matching Grant Speaker Program is to support educational and research efforts around ethics and social responsibility that are taking place at a departmental level.
CESRL encourages and supports departmental-level opportunities to bring in thought leaders to engage and educate our students and faculty colleagues regarding issues of ethics or social responsibility in direct relation to each major. Please have the organizer of the talk complete this form after your department has chosen a speaker on ethics or social responsibility. Before applying, please consider reading highlights of CESRL’s matching grant speaker series described below.
Each department can invite a seminar speaker of their choice. CESRL has allocated up to $2,000/- for your department in a year to match funds your department will also put forward for this event.
In filling this request, you agree to adhere to the following conditions:
- The speaker will present on a topic related to Ethics and Social Responsibility.
- The department chair has approved the matching funds for the request being submitted.
- The grant may be turned down if the total funds allocated for the department exceeds $2000/- CESRL will make every effort to consider grants in excess of $2000/- for each department, depending on fund availability and allocation fairness considerations.

This is a rolling grant, on a first-come, first-serve basis as funds last.
Research Grants
The purpose of the Center for Ethical and Socially Responsible Leadership (CESRL) offering Research Grants is to support the ongoing development of new knowledge around ethics and social responsibility. This research will elevate the educational experiences of the students within the Broad College of Business as well as continue the national conversation around innovative aspects of how ethics and social responsibility impact all practices of business in our global society.
The Center invites proposals for research grants from individuals within the college. Grant’s primary investigators must be full time faculty within the Broad College. The Grant award should primarily be used to purchase data, conduct surveys/lab experiments etc. There will be two awards, up to a maximum of $9000/- each. More than two awards may be granted depending on budgets available to support research efforts. For data requests more than $9000/- CESRL will require the individual to seek support from the department to fill the balance.
CESRL will prioritize supporting research opportunities for Assistant Professors and Doctoral Students within the Broad College of Business at Michigan State University. Research funding will be decided by CESRL in collaboration with Institute of Business Research. Funds will be available once every academic year.
Funded applicants must be willing to present in a speaker series with the Center for Ethical and Socially Responsible Leadership to share findings from the data (surveys, lab experiments, studies, etc.) For purchased data, we may request that the individuals share the data with rest of the college. In that sense, we will prioritize data purchases that also have cross-departmental value.
