    The University of Miami Ethics Programs have awarded seven grants for the 2013-14 Arsht Research on Ethics and Community program. The Arsht grants, now in their seventh year of funding, are made possible by the generosity of UM trustee and philanthropist Adrienne Arsht, whose gift of $3 million is the largest gift for ethics in Florida.

    Arsht grants are awarded to teams of faculty and student collaborators from UM’s Coral Gables, medical, and marine campuses to conduct research projects that address contemporary moral issues with implications for public policy, professional practice, or human rights. Grant funds are used for faculty release time, summer support or course buyouts, student compensation, software, books and other resources, limited travel, and other appropriate project-related costs.

    The grants, along with a distinguished speaker series, undergraduate ethics debates, and support for distinguished UM and visiting scholars, comprise the Arsht Ethics Initiatives at UM. For more information, click here.
