Erwin Hale ’30 Teaching Professor in Humanities and Social Sciences 1993-2014; Professor of Anthropology 2000-2015, Department of Science and Technology Studies. National Science Foundation—Aug 2012-Aug 2015:Investigative Scientist, Office of Inspector General 2014-2015. From November 2014-July 2015 lead investigator on a proactive review of how NSF’s responsible conduct of research (RCR) policy has been implemented at 50 diverse awardee institutions since it was initiated in 2010. Conducted 20 site visits and authored a white paper reporting the findings and making policy recommendations to NSF. Program Director, Ethical Education for Science and Engineering (EESE) / Cultivating Cultures for Ethical STEM 2012-2015 Annual Budget aprox. 3.2 MI was the lead program officer for this cross-directorate program. I was responsible for arranging PO meetings and managing the yearly review panel. This entailed overseeing compliance checking, selecting panelists, scheduling the panel, oversight of all awards and declines. In 2013 there were 50 proposals of which 14 resulted in co-funded awards. In 2014 I successfully re-competed the EESE online portal by writing a new solicitation, constituting a special panel, processing the award and declines, and negotiating a 5-year, 3M, cooperative agreement with the National Academies to broaden their online holdings to include all of the fields that NSF supports. I also worked with the PI on a supplement to enhance the global reach and scope of this resource. In 2014 I organizied the biennial Principle Investigators meeting for 39 PIs. This two-day meeting included guest speakers and break out sessions and was designed to help charting a new direction for the program. Under my leadership, EESE was phased out and a replaced with Cultivating Cultures for Ethical STEM. Responsible for planning and coordinating other EESE/CCE STEM activities such as preparing for a committee of visitors review, and representing the program to NSF senior staff, visitors to NSF, international research bodies, the press, and the professional community. I conducted outreach for the program at universities and conferences.
