Timeline
Principal Investigators of the winning project proposals will become members of a New Science of Virtues Research Network and will participate in two Network meetings over the course of their two-year projects: one at the halfway point as the projects are well underway, and a second to report on findings as the projects are coming to a close. Attended by winning PIs and members of the Project Council, these Network meetings will consist of presentations of works-in-progress and will include opportunities for exchanging ideas, forming new collaborations, and building collegiality.
