Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership Offers Stipends
to Enhance Teaching and Researching of Ethics at CSULB

To further its vision of having an ethics module in every CSULB course, the Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership is delighted to announce two stipend opportunities for faculty and lecturers.

The center’s Ethics Across the Curriculum initiative was created to support the infusion of ethics in undergraduate and graduate courses across our campus.  Faculty and lecturers are invited to submit proposals for a $3,000 pedagogical stipend to support the development of a 3-hour ethics module in the course(s) they teach.  The Ukleja Center has awarded over $585,000 in Ethics Across the Curriculum stipends since the program was initiated in 2005.  All instructors who have not yet received this pedagogical award are eligible to apply.

The Ukleja Center also offers two annual $5,000 stipends to support original ethics research and to contribute to the body of knowledge in disciplinary and interdisciplinary ethics.  $120,000 has been awarded since this program began in 2013. Prior recipients of the ethics research stipend are not eligible to apply again.

The pedagogical stipend application and research stipend application are both due to ucel@csulb.edu by March 1, 2026.  Proposals will be evaluated by separate review committees comprised of prior stipend recipients with Danny Paskin and Maria Carpiac serving as the respective chairs. 

To learn more, please contact Janey Roeder at jane.roeder@csulb.edu or (562) 985-8600.  We look forward to announcing all 2025-2026 award recipients in the spring!
