On February 16, 2024, ISCE and the +Policy Network hosted a webinar with NSF program officers from the Technology Innovation & Partnerships and Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences directorates.

Speakers Jason D. Borenstein and Danielle Sumy discussed one of NSF's newest funding opportunities, the Responsible Design, Development, and Deployment of Technologies (ReDDDoT) program. The program aims to ensure that ethical, legal, and societal considerations and community values are embedded across technology lifecycles to generate products that promote the public’s wellbeing and mitigate harm. The ReDDDoT program is currently accepting proposals that examine and demonstrate responsible design, development, and deployment of technologies in practice. Deadline: April 8, 2024.
