Science of Virtues- Research Grants. Introduction: The Arete Initiative at the University of Chicago is pleased to announce a new $3 million research program on a New Science of Virtues. This is a multidisciplinary research initiative that seeks contributions from individuals and from teams of investigators working within the humanities and the sciences. We support highly original, scholarly projects that demonstrate promise of a distinctive contribution to virtue research and have the potential to begin a new field of interdisciplinary study.

Eligibility: The selection criteria by which the Council will evaluate
proposals and select the winners would focus on the ability of the
proposal to generate ground-breaking results in the study of virtues.
To ascertain the likely success of the researcher, they will also be
expected to consider the scholar's record of achievement, training
history, and the promise of long-term impact.

Amount Awarded: two-year research grants will be awarded ranging from
$50,000 to $300,000.

Indirect Cost Recovery: This scheme is subject to University of Sydney
indirect costs of up to 20%.
