Opportunités pour les chercheurs, les technologues et les praticiens

Le Carnegie Ethics Accelerator s'associe à des équipes éligibles (composées de deux ou trois personnes ou plus) qui s'efforcent de résoudre les nouveaux problèmes éthiques liés à la technologie et aux politiques publiques. Les projets doivent s'appuyer sur une question de recherche claire et concise ayant des implications éthiques profondes.

Les projets précédents de l'Accélérateur se sont concentrés sur :

Les équipes sélectionnées doivent disposer :

  • expertise démontrable dans leur domaine de recherche
  • intérêt pour le développement d'un résultat fondé sur l'éthique avec la perspective d'une application dans le monde réel
  • un réseau croissant de contacts professionnels pertinents qui seraient intéressés par la participation à des ateliers Ethics Accelerator sur ce thème
  • disponibilité pour travailler en étroite collaboration avec Carnegie Council une période de 15 mois après l'acceptation de la proposition et l'obtention du financement

Les propositions sont acceptées au fur et à mesure. Si une proposition passe à l'étape suivante de l'examen, son auteur recevra un courriel de présentation dans les soixante jours suivant sa soumission, l'invitant à participer à un appel de découverte et à en savoir plus sur le processus de collaboration.

Questions fréquemment posées

Veuillez consulter la méthodologie de l'Accelerator et la foire aux questions ci-dessous avant de commencer à travailler sur votre candidature. Toutes les propositions doivent être soumises via le formulaire disponible au bas de cette page. Bien que Carnegie Council garantir que toutes les propositions soumises seront examinées par l'équipe de l'Accelerator, nous ne pouvons garantir une réponse individuelle à chaque proposition.

Your research proposal should outline a pressing ethical issue currently impacting international affairs, one that could be addressed or mitigated by a digital solution. The proposal does not need to detail a specific software or tool, but should include content that demonstrates a gap in digital resourcing where new approaches could meaningfully improve outcomes. Provide some preliminary thinking on what an output from the Accelerator project could attempt to accomplish and why now is the time to develop it.

To learn more about the issues underpinning Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affair’s work, visit our Initiatives & Issues Overview page.

Candidates should possess doctoral-level expertise, whether through a Ph.D. or equivalent applied experiences.

If a submission meets the criteria utilized by Carnegie Council's leadership team during its evaluation of the proposal, the Ethics Accelerator Lead will reach out to schedule a 30-minute discovery call. The discovery call is used for the submitter and the Ethics Accelerator team to align on expectations during both the funding and project periods.

If a proposal is selected, has pre-existing funding, or receives support from a Carnegie Ethics Accelerator funding partner, the lead researcher will join Carnegie Council’s network as a Non-Resident Fellow for the duration of the project.

There is no one-size-fits-all timeline for Ethics Accelerator projects as each project may require a different number of convenings, a different length of time to develop an applied output, a different amount of funding to run communications and promotional campaigns post-launch, and so on . . .

However, a typical project timeline could look like:

  • 3 months spent preparing for the single or multi-day convening at Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs: preparing agendas and invitations lists, acquiring RSVPs, briefing agency partners, securing catering and hotels, and running the convenings themselves
  • 9 to 12 months taking the wireframes developed during the convenings and turning them into a working prototype in collaboration with the Accelerator’s software development partner
  • 3 months running promotional and communications campaigns targeting specific audiences, gathering feedback, and tracking performance

The timeline above assumes a fully funded project. If a research team is seeking funding, they will work with the Council’s Development Team and the Ethics Accelerator Lead to secure funding for the project in advance of the first 3-month preparation period.

Research teams for approved Accelerator projects will receive direct support from Council Staff in the planning, execution, and delivery of Accelerator convenings and public-facing outputs. This includes topic and convening invitee research, access to the Council's networks, convening planning, catering and staffing, workshop facilitation, notetaking and minutes delivery, software wireframing and development, and more. Each contributing member of a research team supported by a Carnegie Ethics Accelerator funding partner will receive $2,500.00 USD monthly for the duration of the project so long as each member is meeting the requirements of a signed Terms of Reference.

For any questions related to the Accelerator methodology, the contents of a high-quality proposal, or what the Council's Leadership team is looking for, please reach out to Samuel Bradshaw.
