- Revise and renew existing master’s level international ethics education programs
New education program applications can request up to $230,000 in direct costs per year, while renewal education programs can request up to $276,000 in direct costs. Project periods cannot exceed five years. Letters of intent are due April 22, 2013. For more information, see the link below:
