The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program (DFEICP) at Leeds welcomes applications for the 2023-2024 Fellows program. This competitive program supports faculty members in designing and executing a curricular or extracurricular learning experience for students that teaches principles based ethical decision-making through the lens of a specific discipline or field of expertise. Please note that this Fellowship is not available to support faculty research.

Each academic year, five Faculty Fellows are selected from a competitive pool of applicants. Each Fellow will receive a $5,000 grant in the form of a cash award to recognize the expected time and effort invested in this role above and beyond Fellows' normal job responsibilities.

All full-time Leeds faculty members who have not served as Fellows in a prior academic year are eligible to apply. CU faculty outside the Leeds School of Business and CU staff are eligible to apply with prior approval from the DFEICP Campus Leader (currently Joshua Nunziato).

All applications will be reviewed by a committee comprised of the DFEICP Campus Leader, the Program Assistant, and at least one other Leeds faculty member. Each application will be evaluated on the basis of its proposed project's:

  • Anticipated effectiveness in teaching principles-based ethical decision-making for professional life;
  • Integration of experiential learning;
  • Innovation and creativity;
  • Probable student impact (both quality of programming and expected number of students impacted);
  • Alignment with the applicant’s experience, expertise, and institutional role--and the
  • Applicant’s availability and willingness to provide select support to other DFEICP programming throughout the academic year as a coach and/or judge.

The deadline for submission of all application materials is May 31, 2023.

Fellows will be announced by June 15, 2023.
