Grant applications should be concise and should include full details of your plans. Submissions will be evaluated by a selection committee of Institute staff, who will judge each application on the project budget, alignment with Institute priorities and plans for promoting ethical deliberation and dialogue, evidence of project need, and plans for publicity, among other criteria.

Applications for these grants are reviewed twice each academic year. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Deadlines for the fall and spring cycle are November 1 and February 15. Applicants will be notified of the status of their request in mid-November and early March.

Organizations already receiving ongoing and sustaining support from the Kenan Institute for Ethics are not eligible to apply for these grants. An organization (or representative thereof) or individual may receive only one grant in any given academic year.

See the Instructions and Application (.doc and .PDF) for more information.
