Institutional Transformation Approach to STEM Ethics Education: An Exploratory Study of NSF-funded Institutional Transformation Projects IntroductionThere is consensus that the integration of ethics into STEM curricula is critical for cultivatingcultures for ethical practices in STEM research. We argue that the establishment of the Ethicsand Responsible Research (ER2) program, previously known as Cultivating Cultures for EthicalSTEM (CCE-STEM), at NSF was driven by a cultural perspective on ethics education.According to the most recent version of its solicitation, A comprehensive approach to ethical STEM not only influences individual behavior, but it also maintains and fosters an ethical
