The Center for Ethical and Socially Responsible Leadership will be offering programming to complement what Broad College of Business students are learning in your classrooms. 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.
The Faculty Fellows program connects Broad College faculty to the Center for Ethical and Socially Responsible Leadership by highlighting the research competencies that are a part of the college within the broader domain of ethics. In addition, fellows are an integral part of the Center’s mission to educate and elevate our students’ understanding of ethics and socially responsible leadership in action. Faculty fellows will be current or emeritus faculty members from Michigan State University who have experience in teaching or research related to aspects of ethics or topics related to social responsibility.
Faculty fellows may be invited to the program, nominated by colleagues or nominate themselves. Both teaching and research fellows are welcome. We are especially looking for faculty representation across all six Broad College departments (Accounting and Information Systems, Finance, Management, Marketing, Supply Chain Management and the School of Hospitality Business).
The center is sponsoring a set of six curricular mini-grants to be provided to instructors who have plans to better infuse ethics and/or social responsibility content in one or more courses in 2023 or 2024.
We will award up to six grants, with a maximum of $2,000 per grant. Each request will be scored by center directors on the following criteria.
Primary criteria (scored 1-10)
|
Secondary criteria (scored 1-5)
|
The highest-scoring application from each Broad College department will receive a grant. If there are no applications from some departments, the remaining grants will be distributed to the highest-scoring applicants who were not yet awarded, provided their proposal has an acceptable score (5 or higher) on the three primary criteria.
Applications must be submitted by January 15, 2024, for consideration. Awards will be announced by February 15, 2024.
The purpose of the Matching Grant Speaker Series is to support educational efforts around ethics and social responsibility that are taking place at a department level.
CESRL encourages and supports department-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.
Each department can invite a speaker of their choice. CESRL has allocated $2,000 per department per year, to be distributed as matching funds last.
Conditions for the matching grant:
Faculty members who want to apply for the grant should coordinate with their department chairs. CESRL will not release matching funds without confirmation from the department, such as an email, committing the additional funds for the speaker’s visit.
Should departments not use all their allocated dollars for a speaker series, CESRL will allocate those extra dollars to other departments that have an open speaker slot, with no matching requirements.
Application is on a rolling basis through the academic year. The center and the department will coordinate speaker series dates to ensure that there are not multiple speakers for the same series. Departments should widely promote the speaker’s presentation as a joint Department-CESRL Speaker Series.
Announcements for speakers in the series will be made as speakers are confirmed.
After the speaker’s presentation, departments must provide an abstract of the seminar and a count of attendees for CESRL records.
This is a rolling grant, on a first-come, first-serve basis as funds last.
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. For purchased data, we may request the individuals to share the data with rest of the college. In that sense, we will prioritize data purchases that also have cross departmental value.
Applications must be submitted by January 15, 2024, for consideration. Awards will be announced by February 15, 2024.
