December 2021 — The Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies (HCPDS) seeks nominations for its Sissela Bok Ethics and Population Research Prize. The $5,000 prize will be awarded in the form of a research/travel grant to a doctoral student, postdoctoral fellow or untenured faculty member at Harvard who has incorporated ethical considerations into their population science research.
A one-page letter should be written by the applicant and contain the following:
- A description of your research for which you have incorporated high standards of ethics considerations (a body of work or an individual study will be considered).*
- A brief explanation of the ethical problem(s) germane to the research.
- Describe your plan for future research.
We strongly encourage applications that concern topics on climate change & population dynamics; aging societies; and/or migration.
If you work in the field of population ethics, describe your work plus current and future (anticipated) contributions to the field.
All applicants must have a current Harvard appointment that ends no earlier than August 31, 2022.
An updated CV should be submitted with the application letter. Preference will be given to HCPDS members and affiliates. A recipient will be selected by a small committee within the HCPDS.
Please email the documents and address any questions to Laura Price, Deputy Director, Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies, at lprice@hsph.harvard.edu. The deadline is Friday, January 14, 2022. A decision will be reached by end of January.
