Strategic Initiative Development (SID) Committee Grant
The newly created committee, the Strategic Initiatives Development (SID) committee, announces that it will consider initial submissions for consideration for funding following the guidelines below by the deadline, April 15, 2022.
Strategic Initiative proposals should further the AME mission, “to foster dialogues, training, resources, and research that links moral theory with practice. It supports self-reflective educational and other practices that value the worth and dignity of each individual as a moral agent in a pluralistic society” and recognizes the intertwining of individuals and groups in many communities, groups, tribes, institutions, regions, and nations.
Because the AME is committed to fostering a climate of full inclusion, diversity, interdisciplinarity and internationalism; the SID Committee will encourage submissions that include AME members who represent diversity in race, ethnicity, home country, religious/spiritual orientation, and theoretical perspectives and methodologies, which will consequently enhance dialogues among different AME members as well as with outside groups and institutions. Proposals by homogeneous groups will receive a lower priority.
**For information, please see the application procedures**
** Please submit your proposal to ame.sid.committee@gmail.com **
Travel
Travel Grants are available to assist student presenters who have limited financial resources to attend and present their work, and for college, university, and research institute faculty members from lower income countries to travel outside their borders to attend and present their work at the forthcoming conference of the Association for Moral Education. The maximum award amount will be $1,000. Recipients will be expected to submit receipts for travel and lodging expenses in order to receive reimbursement after the conference. Grant awards will be distributed on the basis of need. The proposal submission form will include an option to apply for a travel grant and submit a preliminary budget of travel, lodging, and other expenses. Notifications of travel grant awards will be sent to all applicants in April. Note: Travel grant deadline for MoralEd22 has passed.

JME/AME Reduced Membership Rate Grants
JME/AME Reduced Membership Rate Grants were initiated by JME to make the journal available for those for whom paying the AME membership fee is a hardship. AME also similarly reduces their rate, making AME membership (which includes the journal) available at the price of $20, primarily subsidized by JME. Students registered for full-time work toward graduate degrees, unemployed individuals, untenured faculty in developing countries, and retired individuals are eligible to apply. Applicants must document their hardship by submitting an application on the conference registration website. The reduced rate includes a one-year subscription to the journal (JME)—print for faculty, online for students—and can be awarded yearly for a maximum of three years. Note: Reduced membership rate grants are not available for those requesting a travel grant.
