The Center for Ethical and Socially Responsible Leadership will be offering programming to compliment what the 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 purpose of the Faculty Fellows program is to connect the esteemed Faculty of the College of Business to the Center for Ethical and Socially Responsible Leadership. Faculty Fellows help highlight the research competencies that are a part of the College within the broader domain of Ethics. In addition, Fellows will be an integral part of CESRL’s mission to partner with our faculty colleagues to help educated and elevate our students understanding of ethics and what socially responsible leadership is 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 social responsibility related topics.
Faculty Fellows will be invited. They can also be nominated by colleagues or self-nominate. We will have both teaching and research fellows. A key element of participation is that fellows need to be represented across departments (Accounting Information Systems, Finance, Hospitality Business Management, Marketing and Supply Chain).
CESRL 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 allocate up to six awards with a maximum grant of $2000 per award. The highest-scoring application from each department will receive a grant. If there are no applications from some departments, remaining awards 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. Each request will be scored by CESRL directors on the criteria below.
Primary criteria (scored 1-10)
| Secondary criteria (scored 1-5)
|
The highest-scoring application from each department will receive a grant. If there are no applications from some departments, remaining awards 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 for consideration. Awards will be announced by February 15.
The purpose of the Matching Grant Speaker Program is to support educational efforts around ethics and social responsibility that are taking place at a department 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.
Each department can invite a seminar speaker of their choice. CESRL has allocated $2,000/- for your department in a year.
In filling this request, you agree to adhere to the following conditions:
Faculty Colleagues in Departments who want to apply for the grant must keep Department Chairs/Directors of individual departments in the loop. An email that commits the matching funds from departments would be necessary for speaker funds to be released.
Application is on a rolling basis. CESRL will try to coordinate dates for the speakers with the department to ensure that there are not multiple speakers for the same series. CESRL only asks that the departments widely promote the speaker visit as a joint Department-CESRL Speaker series. Applications are on a rolling basis. Should departments not use all their dollars for the speaker series, CESRL will move to allocate extra dollars to other departments that have an open speaker slot – with no matching requirements.
Department will also be required to send a follow up on the number of attendees in the seminar, and submit a seminar abstract for CESRL records.
Announcements for Speaker series will be on a rolling basis.
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 for consideration. Awards will be announced by February 15.
